問:時既別,何故不說四時六時等?答:日夜時分諸方不定故,謂經於諸方令流通故,故分說多時。

Question: Since the times are distinct, why not state the four seasons, the six periods of the day, and so forth? Answer: Because the divisions of day and night are indeterminate in different regions; that is, because the sūtras are to be circulated across all regions, the divisions would state many different times.
