第三見已敬請中四：初至彼推求見其依報。二「見彼」下明見正報。以智住無相，身遊虛空。下天等供養，有十句，明眷屬行。三「爾時善財」下親臨設敬。四「白言」下申己請意。初十句問於法起行、後「我聞大聖」下十句問行起勝用。前中十種皆從微至著，准釋可知。後十中，初二句明不離三寶行、次「不捨大願」下二句明二利行、次「不捨佛剎」下二句明攝佛依正行、次「不離有為」下二句明悲智無住行、後「常聞」下二句明攝法行。

Third, in paying respects and making requests after seeing him, there are four: first, arriving there and seeking, he sees his environmental reward. Second, from "seeing him" onward explains seeing the personal reward: through wisdom he abides in the signless, while his body roams in empty space. Below, the offerings of devas and others have ten phrases, explaining the practice of his retinue. Third, from "At that time Sudhana" onward, he approaches in person and pays respect. Fourth, from "he addressed [him] saying" onward, he presents the intent of his request. The initial ten phrases ask about generating practice regarding the Dharma; the subsequent ten phrases, from "I have heard that the Great Sage..." onward, ask about practice giving rise to superior functions. In the former, all ten kinds proceed from the subtle to the prominent, as can be known by referring to their explanations. In the latter ten: the initial two phrases explain practices that do not depart from the Triratna; the next two phrases, from "not abandoning the great vow" onward, explain practices of twofold benefit; the next two phrases, from "not abandoning Buddha lands" onward, explain practices of gathering the Buddha's environmental and personal [rewards]; the next two phrases, from "not departing from the conditioned" onward, explain the non-abiding practice of compassion and wisdom; the final two phrases, from "constantly hearing" onward, explain the practice of gathering the Dharma.
