3.25
自下第三維摩聖坐現神力者,如意通力非餘通等。「彼佛遣」者,神力使來,因之為遣。「三萬二千」,彰其多也。言「高廣」等,顯其大也。縱廣四萬二千由旬,故言高廣。「入維摩室」,現不思議,令人敬也。廣多之坐入於小室,名示不思議。
From here below, third, Vimalakīrti manifesting spiritual power regarding the noble seats refers to the spiritual power of wish-fulfillment (ṛddhi), not other kinds of superknowledges. "That Buddha dispatched" means that they were made to come by spiritual power, and accordingly this is called "dispatched." "Thirty-two thousand" reveals their great number. Saying "high and broad" and so forth manifests their great size. Their length and breadth were forty-two thousand yojanas, hence they are described as "high and broad." "Entering Vimalakīrti's room" manifests the inconceivable, causing people to feel reverent. Extremely broad and numerous seats entering into a small room is called displaying the inconceivable.
