贊曰:下有七頌,今說真實頌如是皆為得一切種智。中分四:初二頌根熟來逢,一頌念之應度,三頌正說真實,一頌結成法儀。此初也。我見先以權教度者,曾於佛所已聞權教,善根熟故,今來逢我。故上文云「是會眾生曾見諸佛,亦曾見釋迦」,今總言諸佛。

The commentary states: Below there are seven verses, which now preach the truth, versifying how all of these are for the attainment of omniscience. They are divided into four parts: first, two verses on encountering [the Buddha] when their faculties are mature; one verse on considering that they should be saved; three verses directly preaching the truth; and one verse concluding the Dharma's proper manner. This is the first. Seeing that those previously saved by the provisional teachings had already heard the provisional teachings in the presence of buddhas, their roots of goodness being mature, they now come to encounter me. Therefore the text above says: 'The sentient beings in this assembly have previously seen various buddhas, and have also previously seen Śākyamuni.' Here it speaks generally of various buddhas.
