維摩義記 4.38

4.38

自下第三明維摩詰從化受飯，并顯維摩不思議力小室廣容，令彼新來菩薩深敬。於中有四：一、維摩詰化九百萬師子之坐，高廣如前，令彼新來菩薩坐上。二、化菩薩以所取飯受維摩詰。三、明飯香普薰毘耶及三千界。四、由香普薰，諸眾雲集。此即香飯之益也。於中初明聞香快樂，口歎未有。明雲集中，初明人眾雲集。「諸地神」下，餘眾雲集。人中初先辨列其眾，次來入舍，後明所見歡喜設禮。下明却住，餘眾可知。此第三竟。

Next, the third [major division] clarifies Vimalakīrti receiving the rice from the emanation, and reveals Vimalakīrti's inconceivable power by which a small room accommodates widely, causing those newly arrived bodhisattvas to feel deep reverence. Therein are four parts: first, Vimalakīrti emanates nine million lion thrones, lofty and vast as before, causing those newly arrived bodhisattvas to sit upon them; second, the emanation bodhisattva presents the rice he had obtained to Vimalakīrti; third, it clarifies that the fragrance of the rice universally perfumes Vaiśālī and the trichiliocosm; fourth, because the fragrance universally perfumes, all the assemblies gather like clouds. This is the benefit of the fragrant rice. Therein, first it clarifies that upon smelling the fragrance they were joyful and verbally praised it as unprecedented. In explaining the gathering like clouds: first it clarifies the assembly of humans gathering like clouds; from "The earth spirits..." onward, the remaining assemblies gather like clouds. Among humans: first it separately lists the assemblies, next their coming and entering the house, and afterwards clarifies that seeing it they rejoiced and paid homage. Below it clarifies that they withdrew and stood to one side; the remaining assemblies can be understood accordingly. This completes the third.
