四句中，景云：初句，明能化菩薩自謂為師，所化菩薩實功德者，而隱自善故而不顯己德威力故受化。第一句，非他同事顯共事，為度下劣有情，現於旃荼羅類，乃至狗等而生其中。第三句者，有諸菩薩是他同事亦自類現共他同事，謂見所化所受善根猶可搖動，為令不動現共同事，或增者，行位雖等然未成滿，有退動義，故共同事而共行之。

Among the four clauses, Jing says: "The first clause explains that the converting bodhisattva considers himself a teacher, while the converted bodhisattvas possess real virtues, but conceal their own goodness and therefore do not display the power of their own virtues, and so accept conversion. The second clause: not being another's common task-sharer while displaying common tasks; in order to save inferior sentient beings, they manifest among caṇḍālas, and even among dogs and so forth, taking birth among them. The third clause: there are bodhisattvas who are other common task-sharers and also manifest in their own category to share common tasks with others; that is, seeing that the roots of virtue received by those to be converted can still be shaken, in order to make them unshakable, they manifest to share common tasks. Or 'superior': although their stage of practice is equal, it is not yet fully perfected and has the possibility of regression, so they share common tasks and practice together with them."
