三中。《長含》偈詞，即讚布施；初二句讚其信，次二句美其仁，後二句示感報。可敬可事，即指三寶；敬是內心，事即供養。《五分》願詞，初一偈願人畜俱安，後一偈願所獲滿意；耕田下種，喻今布施。義下，準誡。據聖為法，要在隨宜。四辯，義無礙辯，法無礙辯，詞無礙辯，樂說無礙辯。對緣，緣即機也。

In the third [heading], the verses from the *Dīrgha-āgama* praise giving: the first two lines praise their faith, the next two lines commend their benevolence, and the last two lines demonstrate the retribution received. 'Worthy of respect and worthy of service' refers to the Triratna; respect is the inner mind, and service is making offerings. In the vow words from the *Pañcavargika-vinaya*, the first verse wishes for both humans and animals to be at peace, and the latter verse wishes that what is obtained fulfills desires; plowing fields and sowing seeds is an analogy for the present giving. Below 'The meaning...', an admonition is made according to principle: based on the sages making regulations, the key lies in adapting to what is appropriate. The 'four unhindered analytical knowledges' are unhindered eloquence regarding meanings, unhindered eloquence regarding dharmas, unhindered eloquence regarding phrasing, and unhindered eloquence regarding joyful exposition. 'Facing conditions': conditions are the capacities of the listeners.
