答:總答中云遊諸國土,諸是不一,豈止獨娑婆耶?又如大本文云:「若能深觀,見我在耆闍崛山共聲聞菩薩僧。」此即娑婆而是方便也。又云即見我純諸菩薩,無聲聞、緣覺者,即此是實報也。故約二土,明義無咎。

Answer: In the general answer, it says that he roams various lands; "various" means not just one, so how could it be limited to Sahā alone? Furthermore, as the broader version of the text says: "If one is capable of profound contemplation, one sees me on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa together with the sangha of śrāvakas and bodhisattvas." This is precisely Sahā, yet it is expedient. It also says that one then sees me surrounded purely by bodhisattvas, without śrāvakas or pratyekabuddhas; this is precisely the true reward [land]. Therefore, explaining the meaning in terms of the two lands is free of error.
