四、從其諸寶樹下,至以為映飾已來,正明雜樹雜嚴雜飾異相。即有其四。一明林樹華葉間雜不同。二明一一根莖枝條果等皆具眾寶。三明一一華葉轉互不同,瑠璃色中出金色光,如是轉相間雜。四明更將一切雜寶而嚴飾之。又讚云:「備諸珍寶性,具足妙莊嚴,無垢光炎熾,明淨曜世間。」又讚云:「彌陀淨國寶樹多,四面垂條,天衣挂繞,寶雲含蓋,化鳥連聲,旋轉臨空,奏法音而入會,他方聖眾聽響以開心,本國能人見形而取悟。」
Fourth, from "All those jeweled trees" down to "serving to reflect and adorn," it directly explains the varied aspects of the various trees, their diverse adornments, and distinct decorations. Here there are four points: first, it explains that the flowers and leaves of the grove trees intermingle and differ; second, it explains that each root, trunk, branch, twig, and fruit possesses all jewels; third, it explains that each flower and leaf differs mutually, gold-colored light issuing from lapis-lazuli color, thus alternating and intermingling; fourth, it explains that all kinds of mixed jewels further adorn them. Another praise says:
"Possessing all natures of precious gems,
Fully endowed with wondrous adornments,
Stainless light blazes brilliantly,
Bright and pure, illuminating the world."
Another praise says:
"In Amitābha's pure realm the jeweled trees are numerous,
Branches hanging down on four sides, draped in celestial garments;
Jeweled clouds form canopies, transformed birds sing in unison,
Circling and hovering in the sky, playing Dharma sounds to enter the assembly.
The holy host from other lands hear the resonance and open their minds;
The capable beings of this land see their forms and attain awakening."
