又,舍利子!菩薩謙下有四種功德。云何為四?

一者、遠離惡趣,不受駞、驢、牛、馬、狗等諸傍生身。

二者、不被輕毀。

三者、惡友、怨敵不能淩突。

四者、常為人天恭敬禮拜。

舍利子!是為菩薩謙下獲得如是四種功德。

Śāriputra, there are four benefits for bodhisattvas who defeat pride. What are these four? They discard births in the lower realms, such that they avoid taking births as camels, cattle, donkeys, horses, and other lowly life forms. They become irreproachable. They cannot be harmed by any opponents or antagonists. They become objects of veneration for the world and its gods. Śāriputra, these are the four benefits for bodhisattvas who defeat pride.
