11.106

釋身根中得淨身果,類上鼻既遙聞香,身根亦遙覺觸,但今不取此義,明餘人心不淨故身根不淨,持經人心淨故在身則淨,如阿難形面如明鏡,老少色像皆現其中也。偈云「唯獨自明了」者,持經人獨自明了,餘人不持經故不見菩薩所見也。

In explaining the fruit of obtaining a pure body among the physical faculties: analogous to the nose sensing fragrances from afar above, the body faculty would also perceive tactile sensations from afar; yet here this meaning is not adopted. It explains that because ordinary people's minds are impure, their body faculties are impure, whereas because the mind of a person upholding the sūtra is pure, whatever is in their body is pure, just as Ānanda's appearance and face were like a bright mirror, in which the forms and appearances of the elderly and the young were all reflected. The verse stating, "Only oneself alone clearly understands": the person upholding the sūtra alone clearly understands; ordinary people do not uphold the sūtra, so they do not see what the bodhisattva sees.
