仁王護國般若經疏 2.43

2.43

From “There were also magically transformed” down, third, is listing the magically transformed assembly. The text has three parts: now the first clarifies the inconceivable power able to transform into pure lands. As for “pure lands,” this is not the purity of the Ever-Silent Light. For now, it manifests lotus daises, which are the pure marks of true reward and the like. Manifesting one billion high seats and flowers for now clarifies the transformed marks of the response-body in the great trichiliocosm. From “each sitting before” down, second, clarifies the inconceivable power able to manifest various buddhas and bodhisattvas. As for the eight classes: the two classes of gandharvas and piśācas are led by the Heavenly King Dhṛtarāṣṭra of the east; the two classes of kumbhāṇḍas and pretas are led by the Heavenly King Virūḍhaka of the south; the two classes of nāgas and pūtanas are led by the Heavenly King Virūpākṣa of the west; the two classes of yakṣas and rākṣasas are led by the Heavenly King Vaiśravaṇa of the north, and so forth. From “In each and every land” down, third, clarifies the inconceivable power of each expounding prajñā and so forth. Thus far, the listing of the assemblies is concluded.
