First, as for outlining the meaning of the sūtra text, this passage of the sūtra has eleven meanings: First, from "At that time Samantabhadra Bodhisattva" onward for one and a half lines of the sūtra text, it explains entering samādhi by relying on the Buddha's spiritual authority. Second, from "this samādhi" onward for eight and a half lines of the sūtra text, it brings up the name of the samādhi and praises the virtues of the samādhi. Third, from "Just as in this world" onward for about seven lines of the sūtra text, it clarifies that bringing up Samantabhadra's entry into samādhi in this realm universally applies throughout the ten directions as well. Fourth, from "At that time each Samantabhadra Bodhisattva" onward for twelve and a half lines of the sūtra text, it explains that as Samantabhadra entered samādhi, all Buddhas appeared before him, he was supported by the Buddha's power, and the Buddha's words praised Samantabhadra's virtues. Fifth, from "At that time all the Buddhas of the ten directions" onward for seven lines of the sūtra text, it explains that all Buddhas bestowed the ten kinds of wisdom upon Samantabhadra. Sixth, from "Just as in this world" onward for about two lines of the sūtra text, it universally brings up the Samantabhadras in the worlds of the ten directions, to whom all Buddhas simultaneously bestowed that wisdom together, because the Dharma is naturally so. Seventh, from "At that time" onward for about six lines of the sūtra text, it explains that the Buddhas empowered him with their hands, stroking Samantabhadra's crown. Eighth, from "Just as in all such ocean of worlds" onward for about two lines of the sūtra text, it universally brings up that the worlds of the ten directions are all alike. Ninth, from "At that time Samantabhadra Bodhisattva" onward for nine and a half lines of the sūtra text, it explains that Samantabhadra arose from samādhi and proclaimed the name of the samādhi. Tenth, from "When Samantabhadra Bodhisattva arose from such an approach to samādhi" onward for twelve and a half lines of the sūtra text, it explains that the great assembly obtained benefits, and concludes that it was entirely the same with the ten directions. Eleventh, from "At that time, in all the ocean of worlds throughout the ten directions" down to the gāthās, for twelve and a half lines of the sūtra text, it explains that by the power of the Buddha and the power of samādhi, the earth slightly quaked, offerings were raised up, and at the end, the light from the pores of all the Buddhas spoke verses praising Samantabhadra's virtues.
