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.
