81.42

疏「前則多人具德」等者，以舉多數；次即歎故；後列普賢諸上善人而歎德故。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "Earlier, many persons were endowed with virtues...", this is because it mentions a large number; next, it praises them; and finally, it lists Samantabhadra and all the superior good persons and praises their virtues.
