49.20

Tenth is the simile of the jewel king fulfilling vows, illustrating the Buddha's body adorned with marks that fulfills vows. In the application, first it directly applies, and then from "Sons of the Buddha, the Buddha's body..." downward, it resolves doubts. Therein, although it first applies the simile, this is already resolving doubts. That is, there is a doubt that says: "If everyone who remembers sees him, why do we not see him now?" Therefore it says that those of little merit do not see him. Next, a doubt says: "There are also the poor, lowly, and thinly merited; why do they get to see him?" The explanation says: "Except for those who can be subjugated."
