解曰:如《十地經》,初地作閻浮提王。《瓔珞經》說,初地已上瑠璃輪王。《華嚴經》云「初地作閻浮王」,此云輪王。言閻浮者,明住處也。言瑠璃者,明勝妙也。言輪王者,舉輪寶也。居土化境,不相違也。然今此經,初地菩薩與道種性輪王何別?答:如下偈云「權化有情遊百國」。此百彼一,聖凡勝劣有多別故。從此第三修法多少。

The commentary states: As in the Daśabhūmika Sūtra, in the first bhūmi one becomes a king of Jambudvīpa. The Yingluo Jing says that from the first bhūmi upward, one is a lapis-lazuli wheel-turning king. The Avataṃsaka Sūtra says: 'In the first bhūmi one becomes a king of Jambudvīpa'; here it says wheel-turning king. Saying 'Jambudvīpa' clarifies the place of dwelling. Saying 'lapis lazuli' clarifies superior excellence. Saying 'wheel-turning king' cites the wheel-jewel. The land dwelled in and the sphere of transformation do not conflict. However, in this present sūtra, what is the difference between a first-bhūmi bodhisattva and a wheel-turning king of the path-nature? Answer: As the verse below says, 'skillfully transforming sentient beings, roaming through a hundred kingdoms.' Here it is a hundred, whereas there it is one; there are many distinctions between the superior and inferior of sage and ordinary. From here, the third part clarifies the quantity of dharmas cultivated.
