心淨已度諸禪定 此句歎心。肇曰。形長者。目主德者。心歎目則攝眾相。歎心則攝萬德。故作者標二為頌首。禪定之海深廣無際。自非如來清淨真心無能度者。

"His mind is pure, having already crossed beyond all meditative concentrations (dhyānas)." This line praises the mind. Sengzhao says: "The primary feature of physical form is the eyes; the master of virtue is the mind. Praising the eyes subsumes all physical marks; praising the mind subsumes the myriad virtues. Therefore, the author set these two at the head of the verses. The ocean of meditative concentration is deep, vast, and boundless; none could cross it were it not for the Tathāgata's pure, true mind."
