4.66

一釋名者，佛相無窮故如海也，今寄同人說三十二耳，勝諸天故說八十好也，亦可應神耳。此約三乘解。今此文是一乘相，故如海也，所以普賢說寄德無邊故也。問：上〈不思議法品〉別告一人，今何故不也？答：上法是體，顯勝故別告耳。

First, as for explaining the title: the marks of the Buddha are boundless, and therefore are like an ocean. Here, provisionally adapting to humans, thirty-two are spoken of; surpassing the devas, eighty secondary marks are spoken of; alternatively, this may pertain to the response body. This is an explanation according to the triyāna. Now, this text concerns the marks of the ekayāna, and therefore they are like an ocean; thus Samantabhadra speaks of them because the lodged virtues are boundless. Question: Above, in the 'Chapter on Inconceivable Dharmas', he addressed a single person individually; why not so here? Answer: The above dharma was the essence; it was addressed individually to show its pre-eminence.
