11.14

第三形相,亦通染淨。長行釋中,非圓方者,三維八隅皆非圓方,故云無量差別。山焰形者,如山似焰,皆取上尖,對上方圓等故。餘並可知。三結頌中,十偈分二:初一總讚勸觀;餘皆正頌前義兼舉因顯果,於中,初二頌前十段、後七頌前無量差別。今初。摩尼輪者,即水旋之類。淨焰莊嚴,頌上山焰門闥競開,義兼宮殿。後七中分二:前三彰剎由因異、後四明自在由佛。一毛孔內難思剎者,更有一理,謂修行者居自報土各各不同,佛攝眾生所現國土,似彼報故重重而現不離一毛。

The third, physical appearances, also applies to both defiled and pure. In the prose explanation, 'neither round nor square' refers to triangular or octagonal shapes being neither round nor square, hence it says 'immeasurable differences.' Those 'in the shape of a mountain or flame' are like mountains and resemble flames, both taking a pointed top to contrast with the round and square above. The rest are all knowable. Third, in concluding with verses, the ten verses are divided into two: First, one [verse] generally praises and urges contemplation; the rest directly praise the preceding meanings while mentioning causes to reveal fruits, among which the first two praise the preceding ten sections, and the latter seven praise the preceding immeasurable differences. Now for the first: 'mani wheels' are of the class of water vortexes. 'Adorned with pure flames' praises the mountain flames above; 'gates and portals opening competitively' in meaning also includes palaces. Within the latter seven, it is divided into two: the first three display that kṣetras differ due to causes; the latter four clarify that sovereignty is due to the Buddha. Regarding 'inconceivable kṣetras within a single pore,' there is yet another principle, meaning that practitioners dwelling in their own reward lands are each different, and the lands manifested by the Buddha to gather sentient beings resemble those rewards, so they appear layer upon layer without departing from a single hair.
