四、樂說無礙智。菩薩於一字中能說一切字,一語中能說一切語,一法中能說一切法,於所說法皆是真實,皆隨可度者而有所益。所謂十二部經,八萬四千法藏,隨一切眾生根性,所樂聞佉而為說之,善赴機緣,言方無滯,聞者無厭足。菩薩以樂說辯力,能住世半劫一劫乃至無量劫,辯說無盡,廣利益一切,無有一句差機之過,故名樂說無礙智也。

Fourth, the unhindered analytical knowledge of delightful discourse. Within a single syllable, the bodhisattva is able to speak all syllables; within a single expression, he is able to speak all expressions; within a single dharma, he is able to speak all dharmas. Everything among the dharmas spoken is real, and all accord with those who can be saved, providing benefit. This refers to the twelve divisions of scriptures and the eighty-four thousand dharma repositories: according with the capacities and natures of all sentient beings, he expounds what they delight to hear, skillfully matching their faculties and conditions, his verbal phrasing unobstructed, so that listeners never tire. By the power of his eloquence in delightful discourse, the bodhisattva is able to abide in the world for half an aeon, one aeon, or even immeasurable aeons, speaking with inexhaustible eloquence, broadly benefiting all without a single sentence failing to match the capacity [of the listener]; hence, it is called the unhindered analytical knowledge of delightful discourse.
