念定總時辯才不斷　此下二歎智德亦三。此初總歎也。肇曰。念正念。定正定。總持持善不失持惡不生。無所漏。念謂之總持辯才七辯也。大論云。一捷疾辯。二利辯。三無盡辯。四不斷。五隨應辯。六義辯。七世間最上辯。此四。是大士之要用故常不斷。叡曰。念不忘則惠逾增。定不捨則心常一。持善不失則強憶識而惡不生。辯不絕則化無閡備。此四門可以官府萬行故曰也。什曰。菩薩得此四法也。深入堅固經身不失。歷劫逾明故言不斷也。

“Mindfulness, concentration, dhāraṇī, and eloquence uninterrupted”: Below, the second part praises the virtue of wisdom, which also has three parts; this first is the general praise. Zhao says: “Mindfulness is right mindfulness. Concentration is right concentration. Dhāraṇī (retention) retains the good without losing it, and prevents evil from arising, with nothing leaking away; mindfulness is called dhāraṇī. Eloquence refers to the seven eloquences. The Great Treatise says: first, swift eloquence; second, sharp eloquence; third, inexhaustible eloquence; fourth, uninterrupted eloquence; fifth, appropriate eloquence; sixth, meaningful eloquence; seventh, worldly supreme eloquence. These four are essential utilities for mahāsattvas, so they are constantly uninterrupted.” Rui says: “When mindfulness is not forgotten, wisdom increases all the more. When concentration is not abandoned, the mind is constantly unified. When retaining the good without loss, one has strong memory and evil does not arise. When eloquence does not cease, teaching is unimpeded. Being equipped with these four gates can direct the myriad practices; hence it is stated thus.” Shi says: “When bodhisattvas attain these four dharmas, they enter deeply and firmly into them; passing through lifetimes, they do not lose them, and over kalpas, they become all the brighter; hence it says ‘uninterrupted.’”
