云何名持？

> What is meant by "Upholding"?

謂諸菩薩自乘種姓、最初發心，及以一切菩提分法，是名為持。

> It is called the support that bodhisattvas rely on their own spiritual lineage, the first arising of the aspiration for enlightenment, and all the factors leading to awakening.

何以故？以諸菩薩自乘種姓為所依止故、為建立故，有所堪任、有大勢力，能證無上正等菩提，是故說彼自乘種姓，為諸菩薩堪任性持。

> Why is this? Because the bodhisattvas rely on their own spiritual lineage as their foundation and support. Through this lineage, they develop the capacity and great strength to attain supreme enlightenment. Therefore, it is said that their own spiritual lineage serves as the sustaining ground for the bodhisattvas' potential.

以諸菩薩最初發心為所依止、為建立故，於施、戒、忍、精進、靜慮、慧，於六波羅蜜多，於福德資糧、智慧資糧，於一切菩提分法，能勤修學，是故說彼最初發心，為諸菩薩行加行持。

> The initial aspiration of a bodhisattva serves as the foundation and support for their practice. Relying on this, they diligently cultivate generosity, ethical discipline, patience, effort, meditation, and wisdom—the six perfections. They build up stores of merit and wisdom, and train in all qualities that lead to awakening. Thus, this first stirring of the heart is called the sustaining force behind a bodhisattva's outer practice and inner cultivation.

以諸菩薩一切所行菩提分法為所依止、為建立故，圓滿無上正等菩提。

> Relying on and establishing all the practices of the Bodhisattvas—the factors of the path to enlightenment—they perfectly realize the supreme, complete enlightenment.

是故說彼一切所行菩提分法，為所圓滿大菩提持。住無種姓補特伽羅，無種姓故，雖有發心及行加行為所依止，定不堪任圓滿無上正等菩提。

> Therefore, it is said that all practices constituting the path to enlightenment are what uphold the complete attainment of great enlightenment. A person of undetermined spiritual capacity, lacking that capacity, though they may generate aspiration and engage in diligent effort as a foundation, is ultimately unable to fully realize supreme perfect enlightenment.

由此道理，雖未發心、未修菩薩所行加行，若有種姓，當知望彼而得名持。

> Based on this principle, even if one has not yet aroused the mind of awakening or practiced the preparatory deeds of a bodhisattva, if they possess the potential for enlightenment, they should be known as upholders of the Dharma lineage.

又住種姓補特伽羅，若不發心、不修菩薩所行加行，雖有堪任，而不速證無上菩提；與此相違，當知速證。

> For those who belong to the spiritual family but do not generate the aspiration for enlightenment or engage in the practices of a bodhisattva, even though they have the potential, they will not quickly attain supreme enlightenment. When they do the opposite—generating the aspiration and engaging in the practices—they will, it should be understood, quickly attain it.

又此種姓，已說名持，亦名為助、亦名為因、亦名為依、亦名階級、亦名前導、亦名舍宅。如說種姓，最初發心、所行加行，應知亦爾。

> Furthermore, this spiritual lineage is described as that which upholds, as support, as cause, as refuge, as a stage of progress, as a guide, and as a dwelling place. Just as with this lineage, the same should be understood regarding the initial aspiration and the efforts applied in practice.
