大文第二「十方國土」下三十四頌，頌前約喻校量。於中分二：先十四頌正頌前喻可知；後二十偈通釋諸喻不及所由，前雖略釋，今此廣辨。又長行中多隨喻別明，今此總辨，亦總相頌前歎深難說；若將別配，則令難證等互有所局。於中分三：初半偈結前生後、次十七偈半正釋所由、後二偈結德無盡。就正釋中分三：初一偈標章、次十二偈半別釋、三四偈顯德圓滿。今初也，謂標出生無盡、體相無限二章。二別釋中，初四偈釋無齊限，或一句是一義。後一偈半頌六度義，可以意得。後八偈半釋出生無盡，於中分三：初二偈半結前生後，以體無限故出生無盡也；次「菩提心是」下四偈正顯出生為本，出生乃一義耳；後二偈略釋為本所由，由修六度為菩薩乘本，由勸正行為人天乘本，由闡妙業通為三乘涅槃之本。三四偈顯德圓滿中，初偈總顯、次二偈別顯願滿、後一偈別明智圓。第三二偈結德無盡，可知。

Major section two: from "Lands of the ten directions..." downward, thirty-four verses restate the preceding assessment through analogies. Therein it is divided into two: first, fourteen verses directly restate the preceding analogies, which can be understood; afterwards, twenty verses comprehensively explain why all the analogies fall short: although briefly explained before, it is now extensively discerned. Moreover, in the prose, specific explanations were mostly given in accordance with individual analogies, whereas here it is comprehensively discerned, and also generally restates the preceding praise of it being deep and difficult to expound; if they were matched individually, it would cause difficult realizations and so forth to be mutually restricted. Therein it is divided into three: the first half-verse concludes the preceding and introduces the following; next, seventeen and a half verses directly explain the reasons; afterwards, two verses conclude with the inexhaustibility of virtues. Within the direct explanation, it is divided into three: the first verse marks the headings; next, twelve and a half verses explain them individually; third, four verses reveal the perfection of virtues. Now this is the first, which means marking the two headings of inexhaustible arising and the limitless nature of the essence and marks. Second, in the specific explanation, the first four verses explain being without limit or boundary, where each line may be one meaning. The latter one and a half verses restate the meaning of the six pāramitās, which can be understood by meaning. The latter eight and a half verses explain inexhaustible arising, wherein it is divided into three: the first two and a half verses conclude the preceding and introduce the following, because since the essence is limitless, its arising is inexhaustible; next, from "The bodhicitta is..." downward, four verses directly reveal that arising is the root, arising being merely one meaning; the latter two verses briefly explain the reason for being the root: because cultivating the six pāramitās is the root of the bodhisattva vehicle, because encouraging correct conduct is the root of the human and deva vehicles, and because elucidating marvelous karma is universally the root of nirvāṇa for the three vehicles. Third, in the four verses revealing the perfection of virtues, the first verse reveals it generally, the next two verses specifically reveal the fulfillment of vows, and the final verse specifically clarifies the perfection of wisdom. Third, the two verses concluding the inexhaustibility of virtues can be understood.
