2.228

摧滅煩惱賊。勇健無能踰。降伏四眾魔。勝幡建道場 此下三明業用。此行明自業成下二十七行明濟物。如世人功成祿厚惠濟貧窮。此初也。肇曰。外國法戰諍破敵立幡以表勝。菩薩摧煩惱賊降四魔怨乃於道場建勝相也。

"Destroying the thieves of defilement, / His heroic bravery none can surpass; / Subduing the four classes of māras, / He erects the banner of victory at the bodhimaṇḍa." / From here on, three [sections] clarify his activities and functions. This verse clarifies the completion of his own deeds; the twenty-seven verses below clarify the salvation of beings. Just as a worldly person, having achieved success and rich emolument, bestows relief upon the poor, this is the beginning of it. Zhao says: "According to foreign customs, when breaking the enemy in battle, one erects a banner to signal victory. The bodhisattva destroys the thieves of defilement and subdues the four māra-enemies, thus erecting the sign of victory at the bodhimaṇḍa."
