26.58

On the Commentary's "Conforming to the world-seed below and the Sanskrit text, both have ten": Because the single central ocean governs ten oceans, and these ten oceans are arranged along a single avenue, it concludes that there are fragrant water oceans numbering ineffable dust motes of Buddha-lands. All ten avenues are like this, with one seed per ocean; thus there are ten ineffables. Regarding the statement "The indication of seeds below is also like this": The indication states, "Disciples of the Buddha! Within these fragrant water oceans numbering ineffable dust motes of Buddha-lands, there are world-seeds numbering ineffable dust motes of Buddha-lands." To explain: this means that in the place indicating seeds, the word "ten" is absent, yet by this analogy it should also be present.
