【求譯】爾時大慧菩薩白佛言：“世尊，何故世尊於大衆中唱如是言：‘我是過去一切佛，及種種受生。我爾時作漫陀轉輪聖王、六牙大象及鸚鵡鳥、釋提桓因、善眼仙人，’如是等百千生經說？”佛告大慧：“以四等故，如來、應供、等正覺於大衆中唱如是言：‘我爾時作拘留孫，拘那含牟尼，迦葉佛。’云何四等？謂字等，語等，法等，身等。是名四等。以四種等故，如來、應供、等正覺於大衆中唱如是言。云何字等？若字稱我爲佛，彼字亦稱一切諸佛。彼字自性無有差別。是名字等。云何語等？謂我六十四種梵音言語相生，彼諸如來、應供、等正覺亦如是。六十四種梵音言語相生，無增無減，無有差別，迦陵頻伽、梵音聲性。云何身等？謂我與諸佛法身及色身相好，無有差別，除爲調伏彼彼諸趣差別衆生故，示現種種差別色身。是名身等。云何法等？謂我及彼佛得三十七菩提分法，略說佛法無障礙智。是名四等。是故，如來、應供、等正覺於大衆中唱如是言。”
【菩譯】爾時聖者大慧菩薩復白佛言：“世尊！世尊何故於大衆中說如是言：‘我是過去一切佛，及說種種本生經，我於爾時作頂生王，六牙大象，鸚鵡鳥，毘耶娑仙人，帝釋王，善眼菩薩，如是等百千經皆說本生。’”佛告聖者大慧菩薩摩訶薩言：“大慧！依四種平等，如來、應、正遍知於大衆中唱如是言：‘我於爾時作拘留孫佛，拘那含牟尼佛，迦葉佛。’何等爲四？一者、字平等；二者、語平等；三者、法平等；四者、身平等。大慧！依此四種平等法故，諸佛如來在於衆中說如是言。大慧！何者字平等？謂何等字，過去佛名佛，我同彼字亦名爲佛，不過彼字與彼字等，無異無別。大慧！是名字平等。大慧！何者諸佛語平等？謂過去佛有六十四種美妙梵聲言語說法，我亦六十四種微妙梵聲言語說法。大慧！未來諸佛亦以六十四種微妙梵聲言語說法，不增不減，不異無差別，迦陵頻伽梵聲美妙。大慧！是名諸佛語平等。大慧！何者諸佛身平等？大慧！我及諸佛法身色身相好莊嚴，無異無差別，除依可度衆生，彼彼衆生種種生處，諸佛如來現種種身。大慧！是名諸佛身平等。大慧！云何諸佛法平等？謂彼佛及我，得三十七菩提分法、十力、四無畏等。大慧！是名諸佛法平等。大慧！依此四種平等法故，如來於大衆中作如是說：‘我是過去頂生王等。’”
【實譯】爾時大慧菩薩摩訶薩復白佛言：“世尊，如來以何密意，於大衆中唱如是言：‘我是過去一切諸佛’，及說百千本生之事：‘我於爾時，作頂生王、大象、鸚鵡、月光、妙眼如是等’？”佛言：“大慧！如來、應、正等覺依四平等祕密意故，於大衆中作如是言：‘我於昔時作拘留孫佛，拘那含牟尼佛，迦葉佛。’云何爲四？所謂字平等，語平等，身平等，法平等。云何字平等？謂我名佛，一切如來亦名爲佛，佛名無別。是謂字等。云何語平等？謂我作六十四種梵音聲語，一切如來亦作此語，迦陵頻伽、梵音聲性，不增不減，無有差別。是名語等。云何身平等？謂我與諸佛，法身色相及隨形好等無差別，除爲調伏種種衆生現隨類身。是謂身等。云何法平等？謂我與諸佛皆同證得三十七種菩提分法。是謂法等。是故，如來、應、正等覺於大衆中作如是說。”
