[3. How eloquence is (yathā pratibhānam):] It is no unconcentrated or foolish speech,
no harsh speech [so that words and syllables (padavyañjana) are not in accordance with the mind (manas), or, in showing the means (upāya) to bring back again those deviating from their practice (śikṣā) ],
firm speech,
no provocative speech [when teaching the means (upāya) to penetrate the highest truth (paramārtha), or, in saying that the penance (tapas) of the tīrthikas is not a meaningful way (anarthikamārga) ],
mild speech,
pure speech,
completely free speech,
unhindered speech,
speech not deviating from right speech [in words and syllables (padavyañjana) ],
gentle speech,
unassailable speech,
unconceited speech,
peaceful speech,
sympathetic speech,
coherent speech,
speech connected [when it concerns word and meaning, always explaining fully after giving an epitome],
complete speech [since it increases and spreads all roots of good],
logical speech [since it is in accordance with the three standards of knowledge (pramāṇa) ],
unimpaired speech [through creating, increasing and spreading roots of good],
pleasant speech [when it concerns meaning],
delicate speech [when it concerns the syllables],
irreproachable speech [not breaking one’s vows],
speech beneficial [to all congregations],
speech praised by the holy,
(p. 114) speech in accordance with making endless buddha-fields understand [filling them with speech arising from that eloquence],
speech in accordance with making [Brahman, here the same as extinction (nirvāṇa) ] understood, discerning Brahmā’s speech.
With the eloquence taught by the Buddhas he teaches religion to other beings and other persons with knowledge of their abilities, superior or inferior as they may be.
