3.25

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.
