The fourth is awaiting the empowerment and request from the cloud-pedestal, exhorting the empowerment of the auspicious buddhas above. In the second part, the requests, Mokṣacandra requests three times: the first is one prose section and five verses; the second is prose and two verses; the third is prose and four and a half verses. Vajragarbha replies: the first is one prose section and six verses; the next is one prose section and three verses. These two reply to Mokṣacandra and the great assembly’s requests. One prose section and five and a half verses, the cloud-pedestal adds exhortation. One prose section and seven and a half verses, Vajragarbha replies to Mokṣacandra: the first is one prose section and six verses; the second is prose and verse; the last is one prose section and verse, replying comprehensively to the middle request of the great assembly and the exhortation and request of the cloud-pedestal. In Mokṣacandra’s initial prose and five verses, the treatise says: the first verse displays that the preacher’s pure awakening is free of faults. The next verse displays that the listeners are decisive in identical Dharma. The next verse shows the assembly’s delight in hearing. The next verse shows the pure minds of the remaining assembly. The next verse displays that this assembly is entirely capable of hearing this. Herein, the first verse praises the speaker; the next two verses display the purity of the assembly of his own generation; the final verse displays the purity of both assemblies. The commentary says: the first two verses ask why he is silent, now that the assembly has doubts. The latter three verses explain that the great assembly is pure, joyful, looking up with earnest devotion, and capable of hearing the profound Dharma; therefore he should preach.
