新華嚴經論 20.2

20.2

First, from 'At that time, in the palace adorned with all jewels' down to 'all surpassed the offerings of the devas' comprises eight lines of text, showing the Tathāgata accepting the request and entering the palace, where through the circumstantial fruitions of the Buddha's own roots of goodness he surpasses the devas beyond comparison. This shows applied practice joining the supreme stage, its virtues being like the Buddha's. Second, from 'At that time, in the Tuṣita heavenly palace' down to 'and spoke verses, saying' comprises five and a half lines of text, showing the part where the music and entertainment of the devas blazes unceasingly, and the devas rejoice and speak verses; this shows the joyful delight of entering the Dharma.
