第二八重戒者。如依菩薩善戒經云。菩薩有二種。一者在家六重。二者出家八重法。若犯一一重法。現在不能莊嚴無量無上菩提。不能令心寂靜。是則名為名字菩薩非義菩薩。是名菩薩旃陀羅也。菩薩心有上中下。若後四重。下中心犯。不名為犯。若以上心惡心犯者。是名為犯上者。所謂樂作四事。心無慚愧。不知懺悔。不見犯罪。讚破戒者。是名上惡心犯。菩薩雖犯如是四重。終不失於菩薩戒也(八重者。如比丘四重後加菩薩不得為貪利養故自讚其身等。如前四波羅夷。帖初四重。便為八重)。

Regarding the second, the eight grave precepts, as the Bodhisattva-kuśalaśīla-sūtra says: There are two types of bodhisattvas: first, the six grave rules for the laity; second, the eight grave dharmas for those who have left the household. If one violates any single grave dharma, in the present life one cannot adorn the immeasurable, unsurpassed bodhi, and cannot make the mind tranquil; such a one is called a nominal bodhisattva, not a true bodhisattva, and is named a bodhisattva-caṇḍāla. The bodhisattva's mind has superior, middling, and inferior grades. Regarding the latter four grave offenses, if committed with an inferior or middling mind, it is not called a violation. If committed with a superior evil mind, it is called a violation. 'Superior' refers to taking pleasure in committing the four deeds, lacking shame and remorse in the mind, failing to know how to repent, failing to see the transgression, and praising those who break the precepts; this is called committing a violation with a superior evil mind. Even though a bodhisattva may violate these four grave offenses, they never ultimately lose the bodhisattva precepts. (The eight grave offenses: these are the bhikṣu's four pārājikas, followed by adding the bodhisattva's prohibition against praising oneself for the sake of greed for profit, etc. Placing the four pārājikas mentioned earlier alongside the initial four grave offenses makes eight grave offenses.)
