Question: Why did Vimalakīrti not bring the pure land of Sarvagandhasugandhā along, whereas he held the jeweled realm of Abhirati in his palm? Answer: For Sarvagandhasugandhā, it was food that was needed; so they saw it without him bringing it along. For Abhirati, he manifested spiritual powers to let them see it, and also held it in his palm. The ways spiritual powers benefit beings are not confined to a single expedient; why must both have been brought along together, or both equally made visible?
