18.65

The Śāstra states: "That is to say, regarding the benefit and happiness [...] he is designated as that bodhisattva." This further explains freedom from regression. Suffering is of two kinds: first, the suffering of one's own practice; second, the suffering of being afflicted by others; he is capable of enduring both of these sufferings. When it says, "That is to say, regarding matters that benefit and bring happiness to sentient beings, even when manifold sufferings press upon his body, he is completely capable of enduring them," this encompasses both kinds of suffering. When it says, "Even though others in various ways [...] he is designated as that bodhisattva," this further explains that on account of the suffering of being afflicted by others, his mind does not regress.
