贊曰:下第二段,鶖子發問。因見無動佛,修觀他受用身,兼顯釋迦居雜穢土是化身佛。俱權身中有四:初鶖子發問、二如來廣答、三欣見妙喜、四鶖子讚揚。此初問也。不但鶖子未識來由,亦寄此徵以彰他報。天女既言本住,問往不問所從;淨名既為物生,問來而不問往。

Commentary: Below is the second section: Śāriputra raises a question. On the occasion of seeing Akṣobhya Buddha, he cultivates contemplation of the parasambhogakāya, and concurrently reveals that Śākyamuni's residing in a defiled and impure land is a nirmāṇakāya Buddha. Within the provisionally manifested bodies there are four parts: first, Śāriputra raises a question; second, the Tathāgata broadly answers; third, joyously seeing Abhirati; fourth, Śāriputra praises. This is the first: the question. Not only did Śāriputra not yet know where he came from, but this inquiry was also used to manifest another's reward body. Since the goddess had previously spoken of her original abode, the question was about where she was going and not whence she came; since Vimalakīrti is born for the sake of beings, the question is about whence he came and not where he goes.
