疏「四有十五偈」下，約經即得佛平等。疏中分四：先依無著立功德名；次「謂由諸佛」下，即彼論釋諸佛有三事平等，即疏所引二同是也；次「故前經云」下，指經，即〈離世間品〉初也，以彼具足二十一種功德名故；次「亦同攝論」下，引他論會釋。結云「此釋已妙」者，古來諸德不知此即二十一德，亦不知此是佛平等，但云如來隨機隱顯，忽列諸佛，莫知其由。今云顯佛平等，故廣列諸佛皆相遍耳，豈非妙耶？

> Regarding the commentary's remark, "Fourth, there are fifteen verses" and so on: in terms of the sūtra, it is attaining the Buddha's equality. In the commentary, it is divided into four: First, establishing the name of the virtue according to Asaṅga. Next, from "meaning because of the Buddhas..." is that treatise's explanation of the Buddhas having equality in three matters, which are the "two identicals" cited in the commentary. Next, from "therefore the former sūtra states..." points to the sūtra, namely the beginning of the chapter "Transcending the World," because that passage fully provides the names of the twenty-one kinds of virtues. Next, from "likewise agreeing with the Mahāyānasaṃgraha..." cites other treatises for synthetic explanation. Concluding with "this explanation is already wondrous": masters of old did not know that this was the twenty-one virtues, nor did they know that this was the Buddha's equality; they merely said that the Tathāgata conceals and reveals according to capacity, suddenly listing the Buddhas without knowing why. Now, stating that it reveals the Buddha's equality, and therefore extensively listing the Buddhas as all mutually pervasive—how could this not be wondrous?
