大乘法苑義林章 7.35

7.35

第七無畏者，內有攝益、外無怖畏，法性身土、自他受用及變化身久已無畏。《佛地經》云「遠離眾魔」。魔即四魔，是怖畏因，由此能生諸怖畏故。佛皆無彼，故無怖畏。他受用土，十地菩薩離麁四魔，無五怖畏，煩惱、蘊、死漸斷位次，隨應說之，其義可解。變化土中，三乘聖者亦分能離。十住菩薩八相成道能伏天魔，加行道中亦能制伏分別煩惱，離煩惱魔。十住第四生貴住中，捨離生死出三界故，分離死魔。入初地時分離分段死，亦名分離五蘊之魔，是故無畏。

Seventh, fearlessness: Internally having protective benefit, externally there is no terror. The dharmatā body and land, the self-enjoyment and other-enjoyment bodies, and the transformation body have long been fearless. The Buddhabhūmi-sūtra says: "Far removed from all māras." "Māras" refers to the four māras, which are the causes of fear, because all fears are generated from them. The Buddha is free of all of them, and hence has no fear. In the other-enjoyment land, the bodhisattvas of the ten grounds are free from the coarse four māras and lack the five fears. The stages of gradually severing kleśa, the aggregates, and death should be explained according to their corresponding levels, the meaning of which can be understood. In the transformation lands, the noble ones of the three vehicles can also partially be free of them. Bodhisattvas of the ten abodes who achieve bodhi through the eight aspects can subdue the heavenly māra; in the preparation path, they can also suppress conceptually differentiated kleśas and become free of the kleśa-māra. In the fourth of the ten abodes, the abode of noble birth, because they abandon saṃsāra and transcend the three realms, they partially leave the death-māra. When entering the first ground, they partially leave portioned death, which is also called partially leaving the aggregate-māra; therefore, they are fearless.
