19.38

第三「善財作如是念」下明見敬申請中有五：初起勝念作必見想。二見勝依報有十種莊嚴，一七重池塹；二七重寶牆；三十億街巷；四巷僧祇眾；五僧祇寶閣；六純寶帳；七寶蓋覆；八建幢幡；九別閣王住；十善財無染，謂知如幻故、往求善友無異念故。三見勝正報具大人相，以十種喻歎美其德。二十八者，現因位未滿故。四「彼王殿前」下見主伴攝生，先施資具後攝眾生故。下十門辨施意，欠一句。五設敬申請，可知。

Third, from 'Sudhana made this reflection' downward explains seeing, paying respects, and making requests, in which there are five parts: First, giving rise to superior mindfulness, thinking he would definitely see [the king]. Second, seeing the superior objective reward with ten kinds of adornments: (1) sevenfold tiers of moats; (2) sevenfold tiers of jeweled walls; (3) one billion streets and alleys; (4) an asaṃkhyeya of crowds in the alleys; (5) an asaṃkhyeya of jeweled towers; (6) purely jeweled canopies; (7) covered with jeweled umbrellas; (8) banners and streamers erected; (9) a separate tower where the king resides; (10) Sudhana being undefiled, meaning he understood they were like an illusion, and went to seek the spiritual friend with no divergent thoughts. Third, seeing the superior subjective reward endowed with the marks of a great person, praising his virtues with ten analogies. [Having] twenty-eight [marks] is because he manifested that his causal stage was not yet fulfilled. Fourth, from 'In front of that king's palace...' downward, seeing the host and retinue gathering living beings, first bestowing material necessities and later gathering living beings. Below, ten gates distinguish the intention of giving, lacking one sentence. Fifth, paying respects and making requests, which can be understood.
