Just as empty space is immaterial (adṛśya) and develops all beings, in the same way, the vigour of the bodhisatvas is not established in any dharma and brings all beings to maturity (sarvasatvān paripācayati).
Just as empty space opens up a possibility for all beings (sarvasatvāvakāśa) being placed in open space (ābhyavakāśika), in such a way, the vigour of the bodhisatvas opens a possibility for all living beings, being free from viewpoints (sarvadṛṣṭivigata) to all beings.
Just as empty space raises herbs, trees, and crops (tṛṇavanaspatisaysa) without root and basis, in the same way, the vigour of the bodhisatvas generates the qualities of the Buddha (buddhadharma), not being established in the root view that the transitory collection [is a real self] (satkāyadṛṣṭimūla).
Just as empty space is all-pervasive (sarvatrānugatā) while there is no transmigration of nature (asaṃkrāntilakṣaṇa), in the same way, the vigour of the bodhisatva is in accordance with all good qualities (sarvākuśaladharmānugata) while there is no transmigration of nature.
Just as empty space is united in the sameness while it displays different figures, in the same way, the vigour of the bodhisatvas is connected with the sameness of all qualities for all living beings while it shows in different kinds of deeds.
The bodhisatva sees clearly the sameness of different kinds of accomplishments (sādhaka) and he does not hold it in his mind, even though he has undertaken [the practice of vigour]. In such a way, the vigour of the bodhisatva becomes like empty space.
