2.141

經曰「我建超世願」至「誓不成等覺」者,述云:此後、立誓。有二:初、立誓;後、請瑞。初又有二:初、反誓;後、順誓。初又有二:此初、對佛自德誓也。建者起也。即前願佛身土名超世願。願必起行故,必至無上道。

The sūtra says: "I have established world-surpassing vows..." up to "I vow not to attain equal awakening." The commentary states: This next is making the vows. There are two parts: first, making the vows; second, requesting portents. The first also has two parts: first, vows of negative consequence; second, vows of positive adherence. The first also has two: this first is the vow concerning the Buddha's personal virtue. "Established" means raised up. That is, the earlier vows concerning the Buddha's body and land are called "world-surpassing vows." Because vows necessarily give rise to practice, he will certainly reach the unsurpassed path.
