Regarding the commentary's phrase, 'The round voice resounding far and wide, comprehensively pervading the ten kṣetras all at once': this sixth [point] clarifies the source of the preaching of the sūtra. The source is the round voice. 'Resounding far and wide' (luoluo) is the sound reaching distant reaches. 'Ten kṣetras' refers to diverse varieties of kṣetras shaped like trees and the like. The sūtra lists twenty, concluding with the dust motes of ten buddha-kṣetras, citing ten to manifest the inexhaustible. Hence the meaning of the round voice across the ten kṣetras will be explained at length below. Briefly speaking, all sounds are contained within a single voice: this is called the 'round voice.' All sounds are themselves a single voice: this is also called the 'single voice.' The one and the many are unobstructed: together this is called the 'round voice.' The sūtra says: 'The Buddha, with a single wondrous voice, / is heard throughout the lands of the ten directions. / All sounds are fully complete, / and the rain of Dharma fully pervades. / In the ocean of all utterances, / and all sounds conforming to species, / across all realms, / he ever turns the unsurpassable wheel.' These all convey the meaning of the round voice. The ten kṣetras hearing it simultaneously without prior or posterior is called 'all at once' (dun). There being nowhere in the ten kṣetras of the dharmadhātu where it is not heard is called 'comprehensively pervading' (zhou).
