什曰:釋所以先立國土優劣,然後造行也。若為我取國者,應任行之所成;今為饒益眾生,故從物所宜而制國也。肇曰:法身無定,何國之有?美惡斯外,何淨可取?取淨國者皆為彼耳,故隨其所應而取焉。生曰:所以,上四句也。若自無造國,又不在彼疆,然後能成就眾生耳。
[Kumāra]jīva says: This explains why he first establishes the superiority or inferiority of the land and only then performs the practice. If he acquired a land for himself, he should leave it to whatever the practice brings about; now, because it is for benefiting sentient beings, he institutes the land following what is suitable for beings. [Seng]zhao says: The dharmakāya has no fixed state; what land could it have? Beauty and ugliness are entirely external; what purity could be grasped? Acquiring a pure land is entirely for their sake; hence he acquires it in accordance with what is appropriate. [Dao]sheng says: 'Why' refers to the four clauses above. If he does not manufacture a land himself and also does not reside within their boundaries, only then can he bring sentient beings to fruition.
