第三「善財聞」下明見敬申請，於中三：謂見、敬、請。就見中二：先見依果、後見正報。依報中，古釋云：十重寶牆者，是十地位。十行樹者，是十度行。十重塹者，是十地中戒行。八功德水者，是八定水盈滿也。敷以覺花樓閣者，後得依正體，重成故也。二見正報中二：初見三業勝相、二「大眾」下顯眷屬殊勝。設敬申請可知。

Third, from "Sudhana heard" onward, explains seeing, paying homage, and requesting; therein are three: seeing, paying homage, and requesting. Within seeing, there are two: first, seeing the circumstantial fruit; later, seeing the direct retribution. In circumstantial retribution, an ancient commentary states: the ten layers of jeweled walls are the stages of the ten bhūmis. The ten rows of trees are the practices of the ten pāramitās. The ten layers of moats are the precepts-practices within the ten bhūmis. The waters of eight virtues are the full overflow of the water of the eight dhyāna-samādhis. Spreading with pavilions of the flowers of awakening is because the later-acquired essence of circumstantial and direct [retribution] is accomplished anew. In the second part, seeing the direct retribution, there are two: first, seeing the superior marks of the three karmas; second, from "the great assembly" onward, reveals the superiority of the retinue. Paying homage and making the request can be understood.
