42.6

Second, from "Bodhisattvas, O Sons of the Buddha, further arise" onward, explains manifesting transformations according to creatures in terms of mastery through supernatural penetrations. In the text there are three: 1. Manifesting transformations according to capacity. Herein, first is stated the wisdom capable of transforming; next, from "That is to say" onward, explains the capacities known. There are three clauses: 1. knowing the diversity of the types of bodies; 2. knowing the difference in expedient means appropriate for each body; 3. knowing in what kind of world being born can benefit sentient beings. Finally, from "In accordance with their" onward, it directly explains transforming in accordance. Although it speaks of manifesting bodies, the intention lies in the place of birth; therefore it belongs to the container realm. 2. From "This bodhisattva, in a trichiliocosm" onward, explains the scope of transformation. 3. From "This bodhisattva accomplishes" onward, explains mastery of manifestation, meaning being unmoving yet pervasive, like the moon entering a hundred rivers.
