3.27

From here below, fourth, the great assembly all see them. The words "the bodhisattvas, great disciples" and so forth bring up the persons who are able to see. "Never seen before" reveals that the transformation was extraordinary. "The room was broad and spacious" and so forth directly clarifies what was seen. "The room was broad and spacious, completely accommodating the thirty-two thousand seats" and so forth clarifies that the interior was not small. "In Vaiśālī and Jambudvīpa it was also not cramped, and all was seen as before" reveals that the exterior was not large. When people hear that the room was broad and accommodated many seats, they might suppose that the old room was modified to make it wide and spacious so as to accommodate the many seats; therefore it had to be proclaimed that in Vaiśālī and so forth it was also not cramped, and all was seen as before.
