Regarding the commentary's statement, "How much more so having received the Buddha's entrustment!": this refers to texts such as the *Vimalakīrtinirdeśa* and the *Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā*, where all [entrustments] are committed to the Lord of the Devas. The commentary says, "He manifested through great provisional expedient [means]": the Hīnayāna states that he is a srotāpanna; but according to this sūtra, he is universally a bodhisattva of great provisional manifestation. The commentary below, citing events to corroborate this from "Such as" onward: "strengthening the resolve of Sadāprarudita" is from the *Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā*; "bestowing the verse on the Snowy Mountains" is from chapter 13 of the *Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra*; "perfecting the great practice of Śibi" is from the *Upāyakauśalya-jātaka (Fangbian bao'en jing)*; "shattering the immense stinginess of Ruci" is from the *Ruci-śreṣṭhi-sūtra*; "discussing prajñā", and so forth, is extensively explained in the *Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā*; "proclaiming the great teaching", and so forth, is in the *Vimalakīrtinirdeśa*, the *Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā*, and others. Cases like these are not singular; fearing tedious proliferation of the text, they cannot be cited in full.
