It is being agile in one’s eloquence. It is being swift and mobile in one’s eloquence. It is being unencumbered in one’s eloquence. It is being able to address any question. It is eloquence that is never given up. It is unassailable eloquence. It is indisputable eloquence. It is eloquence that rejoices in the Dharma. It is eloquence that is founded on patience. It is profound eloquence. It is a multifaceted eloquence. It is being eloquent when talking about both the relative truth and the ultimate truth. It is eloquence that is founded on generosity, morality, patient acceptance, vigor, meditation, and wisdom. It is being eloquent about the foundations of mindfulness. It is proper renunciation. It is the foundations of magical abilities. It is the faculties. It is the powers. It is the factors of awakening. It is the path. It is calm abiding and insight meditation. It is being eloquent about the knowledge of how to engage with all the liberative meditative states, the attainments of concentration, and the truths. It is being eloquent about all the paths. It is being eloquent about all the mental activity of sentient beings. It is an eloquence without unintelligent words. It is an eloquence without rough words. It is an eloquence without confused words. It is an eloquence without harsh words. It is an eloquence that uses tender words, pure words, liberating words, unimpeded words, pleasing words, words with correct syntax, words applied in a meaningful context, unimpaired words, sweet words, soft words, blameless words, and words praised by the noble ones. The Dharma is taught to other sentient beings and other people with words that lead to it being recognized in endless buddha fields, with a voice that sounds just like the melodious voice of Brahmā, and with eloquent expressions that are confirmed by the buddhas. Someone who follows these teachings on the Dharma will truly destroy suffering. This is what is known as the bodhisatva’s analytical abilities in relation to eloquence.
