8.481

贊曰:下第三又廣變。有二:初一變二百,後一變二百,已到、未到佛有異故。初文有五:初變土量,二變惡生,三變淨相,四變惡土,五變土嚴。此初也。放光警覺、有緣召佛,十方皆照。坐、佛必須齊等,設座唯在八方。

The commentary says: Below, the third is further widely transforming [the lands]. There are two parts: first, one transformation of two hundred [myriads of koṭis of nayutas of worlds]; next, a second transformation of two hundred [myriads of koṭis of nayutas of worlds], because there is a difference between the buddhas who had already arrived and those who had not yet arrived. The first text has five parts: first, transforming the extent of the lands; second, transforming the evil beings; third, transforming into pure characteristics; fourth, transforming the bad lands; fifth, transforming into land adornments. This is the first. Emitting light awakens them and summons the buddhas who have affinities; it shines throughout the ten directions. The seats and the buddhas must be equal in number; thrones were set up only in the eight directions.
