- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [37.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.37.74)

疏「此四後後以釋前前」者，亦展轉通難。謂有難云：云何事訖入定為受佛加？今已得勝力，故為事訖。復應問云：雖得勝力，何不且定？答云：說法時至故。次問：云何不定中說？答云：定無言說故。

> Regarding the commentary's phrase "These four use each succeeding one to explain each preceding one": this also resolves objections in sequence. That is, someone objects: "Why, when the task was finished, did he enter samādhi to receive the Buddha's empowerment?" Now that he has already obtained superior power, it was therefore deemed that the task was finished. One might ask again: "Although he obtained superior power, why not remain in samādhi for a while?" The answer is: "Because the time to preach the Dharma had arrived." Next one asks: "Why not preach from within samādhi?" The answer is: "Because within samādhi there is no verbal expression."
