2.102

In explaining "making offerings": still within that assembly, in order to hear the Innumerable Meanings Sūtra, when the assembly gathered they cultivated offerings; therefore, in explaining "at that time," one must not say it was the time when the assembly gathered. Those listed in that sūtra, all who came, held offering requisites; someone cited the Avataṃsaka Sūtra saying clouds of various offerings came from the ten directions, but that is not entirely so either. If it was the offerings presented by Great Adornment, this example seems like that; but those arranged by the people of the country were entirely made by ordinary human effort.
