第三、慶幸逢遇也。猥，眾也。謂多生有幸。幸者，寵者也。而言天幸者，天寵也，亦可凡言天者自然。今言天幸，自然有幸也。《世說》注云：張敏字子羽，與張華同時，而不得官，乃作〈頭貴子羽文〉云：公受性拘係，不閑禮儀，誤以天幸為子所寄。言天幸，用此語也。有人將幸字屬下句，殊為可哂也。忻躍不已嚮讌忘疲者，忻喜踊躍不知止也，歆嚮飲讌無疲倦也。然此「響」字，合「鄉」下作「食」，今多作「向」，亦可然。有本作「音」，非也。每至披尋不勝手舞者，子夏〈詩序〉云：不知手之舞之、足之蹈之。今用此語，意云歡喜也。況中百門觀爰洎方等深經者，《小雅》云：暨，及也。《左傳》云：暨至。或作洎字，義亦同也。《十二門論》，名為門觀。叡師〈中論序〉云：《百論》治外以閑邪，斯文祛內以流滯，《大智釋論》之淵博，《十二門觀》之精詣也。

Third, rejoicing in having encountered [them]. 'Wei' means manifold, indicating that over many lifetimes there has been good fortune. 'Xing' means favored. And speaking of 'heavenly fortune' means heavenly favor; alternatively, in general, what is called 'heaven' means natural. Here, 'heavenly fortune' means naturally having good fortune. A note to the Shishuo says: 'Zhang Min, styled Ziyu, was a contemporary of Zhang Hua, but did not obtain an official post. He then composed the "Essay on Ziyu's Head Being Honored," which says: "You, sir, are by nature constrained and unversed in ritual propriety, mistakenly relying on heavenly fortune to lodge yourself." In speaking of heavenly fortune, it draws on this expression. For someone to attach the word 'fortune' (xing) to the subsequent clause is utterly laughable. 'Joyfully leaping without cease, yearning for the banquet and forgetting fatigue': joyfully leaping without knowing when to stop, and yearning for the drinking banquet without weariness. However, this character 'xiang' (yearn/feast) combines 'shi' (food) beneath 'xiang' (village); nowadays it is mostly written as 'xiang' (direction), which is also acceptable. Some editions have 'yin' (sound), which is incorrect. 'Whenever unrolling and searching through them, one cannot help dancing with one's hands': Zixia's 'Preface to the Odes' says: 'Without knowing it, one's hands dance it and one's feet tread it.' Drawing on this expression here, the intended meaning is joy. 'How much more so for the treatises of the Madhyamaka, the Śata, and the Dvādaśanikāya, extending even to the profound sūtras of the vaipulya': The Xiaoya says: 'Ji means reach.' The Zuozhuan says: 'Ji means arrive.' It is also written with the character ji, and the meaning is the same. The Twelve Gate Treatise is called the 'Gate Contemplation' (Men Guan). Master Rui's 'Preface to the Madhyamakaśāstra' says: 'The Śataśāstra remedies the external so as to ward off heterodoxy; this text dispels the internal so as to wash away lingering attachments; the vast and profound breadth of the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa, and the refined penetration of the Twelve Gate Contemplation.'
