On the sūtra passage from 'Buddha-lands in the eastern direction' to 'go to pay homage to the Immeasurable Awakened One': The Commentary states: This latter [part] is the verses proper. There are two [parts]: first, verses praising the shared rebirth of superior noble ones, which are fifteen verses; later, verses praising all Buddhas' shared praise, which are fifteen verses. The first also has three [parts]: first, the superior noble ones all being reborn. There are two [parts]: this is the first, verses on rebirth from the eastern direction. Jin (覲) means to see; feudatories seeing the Son of Heaven is called jin.
