「若有眾生多於婬欲」,此下是第二歎觀世意,就中自有二:第一正歎也;第二從「無盡意」下竟「是故眾生常應心念」,結勸也。「若有女人」此下是第三,歎觀世身,就中亦有二:第一正身業禮拜求男得男求女得女,亦第二從「無盡意」下竟「福不唐捐」,結勸也。「是故眾生」此下是第一依名歎中第四總結歎也。「無盡意若有人受持六十二億」此下是第二格量歎,此中亦有四階:第一佛先作格量功德問無盡意也;第二答佛「甚多世尊」也;第三「佛言若復有人」下明如來結會;第四「無盡意受持觀世音菩薩」下,總結歎也。

"If there are sentient beings with much lust" onwards is the second, praising the contemplation of the world's mental actions, within which there are naturally two parts: first, direct praise; second, from "Akṣayamati" through to "therefore sentient beings should constantly keep him in mind," concluding with an exhortation. "If there is a woman" onwards is the third, praising the contemplation of the world's physical actions, within which there are also two parts: first, directly concerning bodily action of making obeisance to seek a son and obtaining a son, or seeking a daughter and obtaining a daughter; also second, from "Akṣayamati" through to "the blessing is not in vain," concluding with an exhortation. "Therefore, sentient beings" onwards is the fourth within the first [section of] praise based on the name, the general concluding praise. "Akṣayamati, if someone receptively upholds sixty-two koṭīs" onwards is the second, praising through comparison, in which there are also four steps: first, the Buddha first asks Akṣayamati while drawing a comparison of merit; second, answering the Buddha, "Extremely much, World-Honoured One"; third, from "The Buddha said, 'If there is another person'" onwards, explaining the Tathāgata drawing the conclusion; fourth, from "Akṣayamati, receptively upholding Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara" onwards, general concluding praise.
