二、總述佛意。「或有多句」下,疏約兩義以釋無量。荊溪云:一者當時佛語辭多,譯人等存略;「或是」下,二者通述不盡之相,如世人云無量無已之類。故知文殊殊宣佛旨不事餘辭,堪可承旨,良有以也。第一疏中明度不盡,唯取初義中譯者簡略。

Second, generally stating the Buddha's intention. Below "There may be many clauses," the commentary explains "immeasurable" according to two meanings. Jingxi says: First, at that time the Buddha's verbal expressions were many, and the translators preserved brevity; from "Or it is" downward, second, generally stating the aspect of being inexhaustible, like worldly people saying "immeasurable and unending" and the like. Hence we know that Mañjuśrī especially proclaimed the Buddha's decree without using superfluous words, being capable of receiving the decree, truly with good reason. In the first commentary, clarifying that salvation is inexhaustible, it takes only the first meaning of the translators' brevity.
