「『作是觀者不處胞胎,常遊諸佛淨妙國土。此觀成已,名為具足觀觀世音、大勢至。』」結前觀音、勢至二觀。不處胞胎等者,脫娑娑苦、生佛淨土,寶蓮孕質永絕胞胎。從頂至足總攝身相,故云具足。文牒二名,故知雙結。十二、十三兩觀,前觀依報第六總觀,今此普雜亦即總觀三聖。普觀則先觀自身,後見依正;雜觀則唯觀正報,大小不同。先別後總,攝機斯足,對文可見。第十二、普觀,三:初、示觀相;二、結名義;三、彰感應。初、示觀相,二:初、想自身;二、明普見。初、想自身,二:初、躡前;二、起後。初、躡前。
"‘Those who practice this contemplation will not enter the womb, but will constantly roam the pure and wondrous lands of the Buddhas. When this contemplation is accomplished, it is called fully contemplating Avalokiteśvara and Mahāsthāmaprāpta.’" This concludes the preceding two contemplations of Avalokiteśvara and Mahāsthāmaprāpta. As for "will not enter the womb" and so forth, they escape the sufferings of the Sahā world and are born in the Buddha's Pure Land, where their physical nature is gestated in a jeweled lotus, cutting off the womb forever. Encompassing the marks of the body from head to foot, it says "fully". The text cites both names; hence we know it is a dual conclusion. Regarding the twelfth and thirteenth contemplations: the earlier sixth contemplation was a comprehensive contemplation of the environmental reward; now these two, the universal and miscellaneous contemplations, are comprehensive contemplations of the three sages. In the universal contemplation, one first contemplates one's own body and afterwards sees both environmental and primary rewards. In the miscellaneous contemplation, one solely contemplates the primary reward, differing in large and small sizes. Moving from the particular to the general sufficiently gathers all faculties, which can be seen in the text. The twelfth, the universal contemplation, has three parts: first, showing the contemplation's features; second, concluding with its name and meaning; third, revealing the response. First, showing the contemplation's features has two parts: first, visualizing one's own body; second, explaining universal seeing. First, visualizing one's own body has two parts: first, picking up what preceded; second, giving rise to what follows. First, picking up what preceded.
