唐云大覺也。解曰:佛者覺也。我法既空名曰大也。聲聞自覺,菩薩覺他,諸佛覺圓,名曰大覺。又此真言體成法界,無所不遍故名大覺。問:「大覺廣遍唯佛窮源,凡何得知與佛齊證?」答:「凡聖名別,心色不殊,以妄隔情,即生二見。今從意密,諦觀瑜伽,本尊真如,無生無滅,從覺向覺,不間修持,一念相應,凡聖同也。」

In Chinese, [prativiśiṣṭāya] means “Great Awakening.” Explanation: “Buddha” means awakened. Both self and phenomena being empty is termed “great.” Śrāvakas awaken themselves, bodhisattvas awaken others, and all buddhas have perfected awakening; hence it is called “Great Awakening.” Furthermore, this mantra's essence constitutes the realm of phenomena and is all-pervading; therefore it is called “Great Awakening.” Question: “The Great Awakening is vast and all-pervading; only a buddha plumbs its depths. How can an ordinary person know it and realize it equally with a buddha?” Answer: “Ordinary beings and sages differ in name, but mind and form are not distinct. Because delusion partitions their sentiments, the two views immediately arise. Now, proceeding from the mind mystery, one closely contemplates yoga: the original deity is suchness, unarisen and unceasing. Proceeding from awakening toward awakening, practicing without interruption, in a single moment of correspondence, ordinary being and sage are identical.”
