28.46

Regarding the commentary's statement, "Three spans" and so forth: the three-span body was what the elder Ghoṣila saw. The boundless sixteen-foot responsive body refers to Boundless Body Bodhisattva, who exhausted the upper realms and yet found more above. According to the chapter "Ten Concentrations," one might see the Tathāgata as measuring one yojana, hundreds of thousands of yojanas, or even the measure of unspeakably unspeakable Buddha-realm dust-mote numbers of worlds. It abbreviates by omitting the intermediate numbers, and thus says "up to boundless."
