仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.645

2.645

Commentary: "If there were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges," and so forth, clarifies that the buddhas are many. "Each of these buddhas" means transforming many to attain buddhahood. "These buddhas," and so forth, means further transforming many buddhas. The three tiers of metaphorical exposition above illustrate that the quantity of all buddhas can be known only by buddhas, revealing that the speakers are many. Hereafter is the second part, revealing that what is spoken is vast.
