12.15

「是菩薩」下,第二、嘆妙音於十方弘經。亦開三別:一、總嘆;二、別嘆;三、結嘆。三門各二。初門二者:前結一土益物;「十方」下,次嘆十方弘經。「若應以聲聞形」下,第二、別嘆。又開為二別:初、現存身;次、現亡身,文處易知。「華德」下,第三、總結。神通結現身,智慧結說法。上一土中廣現凡夫身,十方化中略現聖身,此欲明凡聖廣略互現也。又前凡身中有五類,今聖身中亦有五身。

From "This bodhisattva" onward is the second part, praising Gadgadasvara's propagation of the sūtra in the ten directions. It is also divided into three distinct parts: first, general praise; second, specific praise; third, concluding praise. Each of the three sections has two parts. The two parts of the first section are: first, concluding the benefiting of beings in one land; from "the ten directions" onward, next praising the propagation of the sūtra in the ten directions. From "If they should [be saved] by the form of a śrāvaka" onward is the second part, specific praise. It is further divided into two distinct parts: first, manifesting the body while alive; next, manifesting the body after passing away, which is easily known from the text. From "Flower Virtue" onward is the third part, the general conclusion. Supernatural power concludes the manifestation of bodies; wisdom concludes the preaching of the Dharma. Above, in the one land, he broadly manifested bodies of ordinary beings, while in the transformation throughout the ten directions, he briefly manifested bodies of noble ones; this is intended to show that ordinary and noble beings are mutually manifested in broad and brief manners. Moreover, previously among the ordinary bodies there were five classes, and now among the noble bodies there are also five bodies.
