The Benefits of the Purity of the Six Āyatanas
六處清淨的利益
18.1Then the Bhagavān said to the bodhisattva mahāsattva Satatasamitābhiyukta, “If any noble man or noble woman possesses, reads, teaches, or asks questions about this Dharma teaching, that noble man or noble woman will gain eight hundred qualities of the eyes, will gain twelve hundred qualities of the nose, will gain eight hundred qualities of the ears, will gain twelve hundred qualities of the tongue, will gain eight hundred qualities of the body, and will gain twelve hundred qualities of mind.
18.1薄伽梵於是對菩薩摩訶薩常精進菩薩說："如果有善男子或善女人受持、讀誦、教導或提問這個法教，那個善男子或善女人將獲得八百種眼根功德，將獲得一千二百種鼻根功德，將獲得八百種耳根功德，將獲得一千二百種舌根功德，將獲得八百種身根功德，以及將獲得一千二百種意根功德。"
18.2“Through those many hundreds of qualities the combination of the six sensory faculties will be purified, completely purified. The purified faculty of the eye, the ordinary physical eyes that have come from the father and mother, [F.132.b] will see the outside and inside of the world realm of a thousand million worlds, with its mountains and forests, seeing all as far down as the Avīci hell and as far upward as the summit of existence. With ordinary eyes of flesh they will see all the birthplaces of beings, and know the ripening of their karma.”
18.2「通過那許多百般的品質，六根的組合將被淨化，完全淨化。淨化的眼根，那來自父母的普通肉眼，將看到千百億世界的內外，包括山脈和森林，看到從無間獄直到存在頂峰的一切。他們用普通的肉眼將看到眾生的一切出生地，並知道他們業力的成熟。」
18.3Thereupon the Bhagavān spoke these verses:
“Hear from me what are the qualities in store「請從我這裡聽聞將要獲得的功德

But that is the way it will be但是那就是它的方式
For the field of vision of their physical eyes. {6}為了他們肉眼的視野範圍。
18.9“Moreover, Satatasamitābhiyukta, the noble man or noble woman who teaches and explains to others this Dharma teaching will have those twelve hundred qualities of the ears. They will hear all the outer and inner sounds that arise in the world realm of a thousand million worlds, from as far down as the Avīci hell to as high up as the summit of existence, such as the sounds of elephants, the sounds of horses, the sounds of camels, the sounds of oxen, the sounds of goats, the sounds of carts, the sounds of weeping, the sounds of misery, the sounds of fear, [F.133.a] the sounds of conches, the sounds of bells, the sounds of drums, the sounds of play, the sounds of song, the sounds of music, the sounds of men, the sounds of women, the sounds of boys, the sounds of girls, the sounds of the Dharma, the sounds of that which is not the Dharma, the sounds of happiness, the sounds of suffering, the sounds of fools, the sounds of the āryas, the sounds that are pleasant, the sounds that are unpleasant, the sounds of devas, the sounds of nāgas, the sounds of yakṣas, the sounds of gandharvas, the sounds of asuras, the sounds of garuḍas, the sounds of kinnaras, the sounds of fire, the sounds of water, the sounds of the air, the sounds of villages, the sounds of towns, the sounds of bhikṣus, the sounds of śrāvakas, the sounds of pratyekabuddhas, the sounds of bodhisattvas, and the sounds of tathāgatas—all the sounds that arise outside and inside within a world realm of a thousand million worlds.

18.10“Although they will not yet have accomplished divine hearing, they will understand the sounds of each and every being and be able to differentiate them and understand them by listening with that ordinary faculty of the ears. That faculty of the ears will hear the sounds that the various beings make but the faculty of hearing will not be overwhelmed by all those sounds. Satatasamitābhiyukta, the bodhisattva mahāsattvas will acquire that kind of sense of hearing, but will not yet at that time have attained divine hearing.”
18.10「雖然他們還沒有獲得天耳，但他們會理解每一個眾生所發出的聲音，並能夠通過用普通的耳朵能力來分辨和理解這些聲音。那種耳朵的能力會聽到各種眾生所發出的聲音，但聽覺能力不會被所有那些聲音所淹沒。常精進菩薩，菩薩摩訶薩們將會獲得那種聽覺能力，但在那個時候還沒有獲得天耳。」
