4.192

復次,欲者,如薩陀波崙欲聞般若,不自惜身命。精進者,為聞般若故,七日七夜閑林悲泣;七歲行立不坐不臥。念者,常念我何時當聞般若,更無餘念。巧慧者,雖有留難,留難不能難。如賣身,魔不能蔽;隱水,更能刺血。轉魔事為佛事,即巧慧。一心者,決志不移,不復二念也。

Furthermore, desire is like Sadāprarudita desiring to hear prajñā, not sparing his own body or life. Vigor means that for the sake of hearing prajñā, he wept in grief in a solitary forest for seven days and seven nights, and walked and stood for seven years without sitting or lying down. Mindfulness means constantly thinking, 'When shall I hear prajñā?' with no other thoughts. Skillful wisdom means that although there were obstacles and difficulties, the difficulties could not hinder him; as when selling his body, Māra could not obstruct him, and when [Māra] hid the water, he could still pierce himself for blood. Turning Māra's deeds into Buddha's deeds is skillful wisdom. Single-mindedness means his resolute determination did not waver, and he had no second thought.
