下辨能供因并為報德。有四:一陳往遇佛;二「我於」下述昔殖因;三「由彼」下念彼佛恩;四「令我」下令我能益故、我為報昔佛恩故、供養利益弘經之人故。下佛讚。「汝能如是憶念昔因報恩供養」等。隨所念,他心通所緣。隨所視方,天眼通所見。隨所至,神境通所至。此中八寶,餘多說七,七寶說處亦復不同。準《佛地論》「隨方所重,說七有別。」故不相違。

Below, she explains the cause of being able to make offerings and does so to repay virtue. There are four parts: first, recounting meeting a Buddha in the past; second, from "I... in the presence of that Buddha" onward, narrating the planting of causes in the past; third, from "Through... of that" onward, recollecting the grace of that Buddha; fourth, from "today... I am able" onward, because he caused me to be able to benefit others, in order to repay the grace of that former Buddha, I make offerings to and benefit those who propagate the sūtra. Below, the Buddha praises her: "You are able to recollect former causes in this way and make offerings to repay grace," and so on. "Wherever I direct my thoughts" refers to the object of the knowledge of the minds of others. "In whatever direction I look" refers to what is seen by the divine eye. "To whatever country I arrive" refers to what is reached by the supernatural power of psychic travel. Among these, eight treasures are listed, whereas other texts mostly speak of seven, and the places where seven treasures are listed also differ. According to the Buddhabhūmi-śāstra: "In accordance with what is valued in a particular region, there are differences in explaining the seven." Thus they do not contradict each other.
