2.48

Question: This is manifesting signs to signify a revelation—how can it signify the proximate origin? Answer: A certain master mistakenly claimed that this refers to joining the canopies and manifesting lands. Now, examining the text, it is not so. This praises the manifestation of signs when expounding the Universal Collection, not the auspicious sign of joining the canopies. The auspicious sign of joining the canopies is as the verse below says: "Now I offer to the World-Honoured One this tiny canopy, / within which appears my trichiliocosm." That is the proper praise of the revelation.
