「二傍」下云云者,自行為正,如斯那為他為正、如月蓋護法為正、如如來傍正互論,必具三請。後世行者思齊在茲。致,至也。祈,告也。干,求也。要心者,要謂要期,皆出下引證。既先明自請,合引斯那請文,而引月蓋者,文顯易見故。傍正而論三請,互具互引無在域限也。限意專請,觀音不在餘聖也。

What follows "the other two are secondary" and so on means: self-cultivation is primary, as in Sinā; for the sake of others is primary, as in Candraprabha; protecting the Dharma is primary, as in the Tathāgata. When discussing primary and secondary mutually, each must include the three invocations. Future practitioners should look to this as a model. Zhi means to arrive. Qi means to address/pray. Gan means to seek. "Determined mind": determined refers to an earnest pledge; all are explained in the supporting citations below. Having explained self-invoking first, one should have cited the passage of Sinā's invocation, yet Candraprabha's is cited because the text is prominent and easy to see. When discussing primary and secondary, the three invocations mutually contain and cite each other without fixed boundaries. The bounded intention exclusively invokes Avalokiteśvara, not other holy ones.
