第八重照一億世界。西國數法有三種億:一百萬、二千萬、三萬萬。下文百千百千名一俱胝,俱胝者此云億,是千萬為億。此中據千萬為一億。《對法論》(云云)。二十偈歎佛善巧力,二頌為一義,皆先舉所作、末後一句結由巧力。於中有十:一智斷圓滿力;二大智樂境力;三無功成事力,於中三法,一眾生、二化處、三內禪,並離著故云巧力也;四理智入實力;五示果攝生力;六智入深密力;七境智雙亡力;八記時了處力;九了達群機力;十善達三際力。於中初一約俗、後一約真。

The eighth layer illuminates one koṭi worlds. In the numerical systems of the Western country (India) there are three kinds of koṭi: one million, ten million, and one hundred million. Later in the text, a hundred thousand times a hundred thousand is called a koṭi; a koṭi here is called an ordinary yi, which is ten million as a koṭi. Here it is based on ten million as one koṭi. The Abhidharmasamuccaya states [the same]. There are twenty verses praising the Buddha's power of skillfulness. Every two verses form one theme; in all cases they first present what is done, and the final line concludes that it is due to skillful power. There are ten points within this: 1. the power of fulfillment of wisdom and abandonment; 2. the power of great wisdom delighting in objects; 3. the power of non-purposive accomplishment of affairs, within which there are three dharmas: first sentient beings, second places of conversion, and third internal dhyāna—since all are free from attachment, it is called skillful power; 4. the power of wisdom of principle entering reality; 5. the power of manifesting the fruit to gather sentient beings; 6. the power of wisdom entering the deep and secret; 7. the power of object and wisdom both perishing; 8. the power of predicting times and knowing places; 9. the power of fully penetrating the capacities of the multitudes; 10. the power of skillfully reaching the three times. Among these, the first is according to the conventional, and the latter is according to the real.
