Regarding the commentary's "Dravida": newly translated as Draviḍa; in the language of the Tang it means 'holding abundance,' which also accords with the meaning of 'noble birth.' Regarding the commentary's "because the Dharma-clouds of the sacred teachings of the three periods rain upon everything": speaking in terms of symbolizing the stages, that sūtra states, 'This bodhisattva should be encouraged to learn ten dharmas, namely: completely knowing all Buddha-dharmas of past, future, and present; second, practicing the three fulfillments, three each making nine; tenth, completely knowing the equality of all Buddhas.'
