一、布施攝。菩薩以無所捨心行於二種布施,能攝眾生:一者財施、二者法施。若為樂財眾生,即以財施而攝取之;若以樂法眾生,即以法施而攝取之。以此二施能利益一切,眾生既蒙恩利,因是生親愛心而隨受道,得住真理,故名檀布施攝也。二者施相,略如前檀波羅蜜中分別。

First is embrace through giving. With a mind free of parsimony, the bodhisattva practices two kinds of giving, which can embrace sentient beings: first is the giving of wealth, and second is the giving of Dharma. If there are sentient beings who delight in wealth, one embraces them with the giving of wealth; if there are sentient beings who delight in Dharma, one embraces them with the giving of Dharma. Because these two givings can benefit all, and sentient beings have received grace and benefit, they thereby give rise to affection and follow to receive the path, coming to abide in the true principle; hence it is named embrace through dāna-giving. The aspects of these two givings have been briefly distinguished earlier in the dāna-pāramitā.
