「今見此瑞與本無異」,自此下竟長行,是第四分明結答。有二者:第一言「今見此瑞與本無異」,此結已見事同也。上曾見事中有七事同,今唯結第五第六彼此二六十二瑞,餘者悉不結也。第二從「是故惟忖今日如來當說大乘經名妙法蓮華」,此結上當見事與曾見事應同也。上當見事中有四事同,今唯結第二說經名應同,餘者悉不結也。若依後三段,此是第三總結上二段,「今見此瑞與本無異」者,先結第二引古證今也。「是故惟忖」下,追結第一髣髴思惟忖度也。
"Now seeing these omens, they are no different from the original ones": from here down to the end of the prose section is the fourth, distinctly concluding the answer. There are two [parts]: first, the phrase "Now seeing these omens, they are no different from the original ones", this concludes that the matters already seen are identical. Among the matters seen previously there were seven identical matters; now he only concludes the fifth and sixth—the respective twice-six, twelve omens—and none of the rest are concluded. Second, from "Therefore, reflecting on this, today the Tathāgata will preach the Mahāyāna sūtra named Saddharmapuṇḍarīka", this concludes that the matters to be seen above should be identical with the matters seen previously. Among the matters to be seen above there were four identical matters; now he only concludes the second—that the preaching of the sūtra's name should be identical—and none of the rest are concluded. If relying on the latter three sections, this is the third, generally concluding the previous two sections: "Now seeing these omens, they are no different from the original ones" first concludes the second [section], citing the past to substantiate the present; from "Therefore, reflecting on this" downward, it retrospectively concludes the first [section], the vague contemplation and reflection.
