海龍王經云。佛告龍王。是無盡藏。總持。說德無量。入無極慧。集菩薩行。乃至嚴淨道場。逮諸佛法。是謂無盡之藏總持。其有文字名號之數。及法諸數。遊于正法。皆來歸斯無盡之藏。為總持也。菩薩入斯。於諸文字無所分別。諸法清白。不壞本淨故。乃至由是總持。後當來世。是離垢總持所流布處。皆是如來之所建立。八萬四千法藏。是總持門為首也。八萬四千行。皆來歸於總持。八萬四千三昧。皆從總持。八萬四千總持無盡之藏。總持為本原。釋曰。以一切眾生自性清淨心。是諸法總持之門。從心所生。用不失體。故云不壞本淨故。末不離本。故云皆是如來之所建立。萬法出生。故云無盡之藏。凡聖之地。故號本原。

The Sāgaranāgarājaparipṛcchāsūtra says: 'The Buddha told the Dragon King: "This inexhaustible treasury dhāraṇī has limitless spoken virtues; it enters limitless wisdom and gathers bodhisattva practices … [and so on, up to] adorning and purifying the bodhimaṇḍa and attaining all Buddhadharmas. This is called the inexhaustible treasury dhāraṇī. All counts of syllables and names, as well as all counts of dharmas that roam in the true Dharma, all return to this inexhaustible treasury as dhāraṇī. When a bodhisattva enters this, he has no discrimination regarding syllables, because all dharmas are pristine and do not destroy their original purity. … [and so on, up to] Due to this dhāraṇī, in future generations, the places where this stainless dhāraṇī is disseminated are all established by the Tathāgata. The eighty-four thousand dharma treasuries have this dhāraṇī gate as their foremost. The eighty-four thousand practices all return to the dhāraṇī. The eighty-four thousand samādhis all proceed from the dhāraṇī. Of the inexhaustible treasury of eighty-four thousand dhāraṇīs, the dhāraṇī is the fundamental source."
Explanation: Because the fundamentally pure citta of all sentient beings is the gate of dhāraṇī of all dharmas. Arising from citta, function does not lose substance; hence it is said, 'do not destroy their original purity.' The branches do not depart from the root; hence it is said, 'they are all established by the Tathāgata.' The ten thousand dharmas are born from it; hence it is called 'the inexhaustible treasury.' It is the ground of ordinary beings and sages; hence it is designated 'the fundamental source.'
