第四約別教位釋淨無垢稱位者,維摩既是一生補處大士,即是法身居等覺金剛心無垢菩薩之位也。佛性理顯,故名為淨。別惑正、習俱盡,無明餘習譬若微煙,雖有如無,故名無垢。邊際智滿,內稱深理,外用無方,法界平等,赴緣行化,故名為稱,故云「淨無垢稱」也。豈可同彼三藏通教辨淨無垢稱義?所以教迹現同補處位者,為呵通教三乘,別教大乘接義也。

Fourth, explaining the stage of Pure Stainless Fame (Vimalakīrti) in terms of the stages of the distinctive teaching: Since Vimalakīrti is a Mahāsattva bound to one last birth, he is in the position of an immaculate bodhisattva of the diamond mind of equal enlightenment, abiding in the dharmakāya. The principle of Buddha-nature is manifest; hence it is called 'pure.' Both the active afflictions and karmic impressions of distinctive delusions are exhausted; the remaining impressions of fundamental ignorance are like faint smoke—though they exist, they are as if non-existent; hence it is called 'stainless.' Extreme-limit wisdom is fulfilled; internally it accords with profound principle, externally its functioning is limitless, the dharmadhātu is equitable, and he responds to conditions to carry out conversion; hence it is called 'fame' (acclaim / according with). Thus he is named 'Pure Stainless Fame' (Vimalakīrti). How could this be identical to explaining the meaning of Pure Stainless Fame according to the Tripiṭaka and shared teachings? As for why his teaching traces manifested as identical to the stage bound to one last birth, it was to reprimand the three vehicles of the shared teaching and to admit [practitioners] into the Mahāyāna of the distinctive teaching.
