「爾時四部眾」此下是第二，明諸天見舍利弗得記故歡喜。所以歡喜者正言心平等，今身子既得記，冀我亦在斯例，是故歡喜也。就中自有長行與偈也。亦就長行中自有二：第一明大眾見舍利弗得受記，第二正明歡喜，就中有三，「心大歡喜」一句明意業歡喜，「各各脫身所著上衣」下明身業供養，「而作是言」下明口業讚歎也。偈中有三三偈半明聞法歡喜，次兩行偈明見受記故喜，次一偈明迴向也。

> "At that time, the fourfold assembly": from here on is the second \[part\], clarifying that the gods rejoice upon seeing Śāriputra receive prophecy. The reason they rejoice is precisely because their minds are impartial: now that Śāriputra has received prophecy, they hope that they too are included in this category; therefore they rejoice. Within this, there are naturally both prose and verses. Also within the prose, there are naturally two parts: first, clarifying that the great assembly sees Śāriputra receive prophecy; second, directly clarifying their rejoicing, within which there are three points: the phrase "their minds were greatly rejoiced" clarifies the joy of mental karma; from "each took off the upper robe they wore" on clarifies the offerings of physical karma; from "and made this statement" on clarifies the praise of verbal karma. In the verses, there are three \[stages\]: three and a half verses clarify joy from hearing the Dharma; the next two verses clarify joy from seeing the prophecy received; the next verse clarifies dedication of merit.
