第三「爾時大天」下授己法界，中二：先授法方便、後正授所得。今初，現相讚友難遇，令欣入故。長舒等者，約事，則發心難遇，淨目而觀、散華而供故。約表，謂展四無礙解手，取所證勝流相應法門，先當自淨以洗身心，後因利他故云華散。亦表四攝遠展，攝取四眾故。二「我已成」下正授法界，中二：先名體。謂以六度大悲，如雲覆潤、如網羅攝故；後「善財」下問答業用，四攝攝生故。先問、後答。答中二：先現寶令施，教以檀攝；後「如我為汝」下類餘通教及利行攝。如是等言，亦兼愛語、同事。後三段易知。

> Third, from "at that time, Mahādeva" downward, is conferring his own dharmadhātu, in which there are two parts: first, the expedient means of conferring the Dharma; second, directly conferring what was attained. Now, the first: manifesting marks and praising that the friend is hard to encounter, causing him to rejoice and enter. "Stretching out long," and so forth: in terms of phenomena, generating the mind is hard to encounter, so he observes with pure eyes and offers scattered flowers. In terms of symbolic representation, extending the hands of the four unobstructed knowledges takes the Dharma gate corresponding to the supreme flow of what is realized; first one must purify oneself to wash body and mind, and then because of benefiting others it says flowers are scattered. It also symbolizes extending the four means of gathering far and wide to gather the four assemblies. Second, from "I have already accomplished" downward, is directly conferring the dharmadhātu, in which there are two parts: first, name and essence. This means that with the great compassion of the six pāramitās, it covers and moistens like a cloud, and gathers in like a net. Afterwards, from "Sudhana" downward, is the dialogue on the functioning of karmic activity, gathering sentient beings through the four means of gathering. First the question, then the answer. In the answer there are two parts: first, manifesting jewels to cause giving, teaching through gathering by generosity; afterwards, from "just as I do for you" downward, it analogously applies to the rest of the common teaching and gathering by beneficial action. Words such as "and so forth" also encompass kind speech and joint cooperation. The latter three sections are easily known.
