問:何不別顯如下處等,但說一時?答:晝夜時分諸方不定,不可別說。又義不定,或一剎那、或復相續,不可定說。是故總相但說一時。
Question: Why not explicitly indicate [the time] as is done below with the location and so forth, but merely say “at one time”? Answer: Day, night, and periods of time are indeterminate across the various directions, so they cannot be specifically stated. Moreover, the meaning is indeterminate: it may be a single instant, or it may be continuous, so it cannot be definitively stated. For these reasons, in general terms it merely says “at one time.”
