諸能完具如是德，於諍世中極稀故，半德，四分或八分，應依如是咒師伴。」此中所說圓滿伴相，八分之一為下邊際。
Since those who have all such good qualities are very rare in this age of strife, Mantra practitioners should rely on an assistant who has one half, one quarter, or an eighth of these qualities. Thus it says that assistants should have these defining characteristics in their entirety, or at least one eighth of these.
在紛擾不安的末法時代，圓滿具備十六種德相，極為稀有，因此，如果有具備一半、四分之一或八分之一的人，也是應該依止的修行助伴。而《妙臂請問經》所宣說的圓滿助伴十六種德相的八分之一，是修行助伴應具備的最低限度。
