1.53

三、金地天華莊嚴。曼陀羅,翻適意,以適悅人意故,其色白故,或翻為白華也。衣裓,古釋云:衣襟也。真諦云:外國盛華器也。飯食經行者,食後經行以消息故。

Third, the adornment of golden ground and celestial flowers. "Māndārava" translates as "agreeable to one's wish," because it delights the minds of people; because its colour is white, it is also translated as "white flower." As for "the folds of robes" (yījié), an ancient explanation states that it refers to the lapel of a robe. Paramārtha states that it is a vessel for holding flowers in foreign lands. As for "eating their meal and walking in meditation," it means walking in meditation after eating in order to digest and rest.
