初明無垢三昧破地獄有,即為四意:一明業結者,罪之尤重莫若地獄,惡業垢重,見思垢、塵沙垢、無明垢;二明用三昧破無明者,菩薩為破是諸垢故,修前根本戒破惡業垢,修前八背捨等定伏見思垢,修有作無生等慧斷見思垢,修無量慧破塵沙垢,修無作慧破無明垢;三明結成三昧者,破見思垢故真諦三昧成,破惡業垢及塵沙垢故俗諦三昧成,破無明垢故中道第一義三昧成;四明慈悲利物,菩薩已自破地獄垢故,得三諦三昧,有大慈悲冥薰法界,眾生有機,關於慈悲,以王三昧力法性不動而能應之。如婆藪、調達應入地獄,隨其所宜而為說法,破地獄有。如〈聖行品〉所明,自修戒定慧等諸行故,自證三諦三昧成,於聖行中有慈悲誓願故,破他三諦上垢,亦破他三諦上惡業煩惱垢,自既無垢令他無垢,故此三昧名無垢三昧也。因此下具此四意,類前可知。

First, explaining the stainless samādhi (vimala-samādhi) which shatters the existence of hell has four points: First, explaining the knot of karma: among sins, none is heavier than that of hell; the defilement of evil karma is heavy, consisting of the defilement of views and thoughts, the defilement of dust and sand, and the defilement of ignorance. Second, explaining the use of samādhi to shatter ignorance: in order to shatter these various defilements, the bodhisattva cultivates the aforementioned fundamental precepts to shatter the defilement of evil karma; cultivates the aforementioned concentrations such as the eight liberations to subdue the defilement of views and thoughts; cultivates wisdoms such as that of action and of non-arising to cut off the defilement of views and thoughts; cultivates the immeasurable wisdom to shatter the defilement of dust and sand; and cultivates the wisdom of non-action to shatter the defilement of ignorance. Third, explaining the completion of the samādhi: because the defilement of views and thoughts is shattered, the samādhi of the true truth is completed; because the defilement of evil karma and dust and sand is shattered, the samādhi of the conventional truth is completed; because the defilement of ignorance is shattered, the samādhi of the middle way paramārtha-satya is completed. Fourth, explaining compassionate benefit to beings: because the bodhisattva has personally shattered the defilement of hell, they attain the samādhi of the three truths, possessing great compassion that invisibly perfuses the dharmadhātu; when sentient beings possess the requisite capacity, connecting with compassion, through the power of the king of samādhis the dharma-nature remains unmoved yet is able to respond to them. Just as when Vasu or Devadatta were due to enter hell, they preached the Dharma for them according to what was appropriate, shattering the existence of hell. As explained in the chapter on 'Holy Conduct', because they personally cultivate the various practices such as precepts, concentration, and wisdom, they personally realize the completion of the samādhis of the three truths; having compassionate vows within holy conduct, they shatter the defilements overlying the three truths in others, and also shatter the defilements of evil karma and affliction overlying the three truths in others; being stainless themselves, they cause others to become stainless; hence this samādhi is called the 'stainless samādhi'. Hereafter, all possess these four points, which may be understood by analogy with the preceding.
