Commentary: Fifth, emitting radiance illuminates the realm. According to the *Gayāśīrṣa-sūtra-śāstra*, emitting radiance has seven meanings: first, causing pure faith to arise, knowing this is an extraordinary person; second, shattering darkness and sweeping away ignorance. These are explained fully as in my commentary on the *Lotus Sūtra*. The radiance has three stages: first, Rājagṛha; second, the trichiliocosm; third, the ten directions. Wishing to reveal the three bodies, three gradations are manifested. Furthermore, it clarifies the sequence of seeing the three bodies: first seeing the transformation body, next seeing the response body, and finally beholding the dharma body. Citing the sands of the Ganges has five meanings, also as in the *Commentary on the Lotus Sūtra*. The measure of the realm of the trichiliocosm is indeterminate; consult the *Notes on the Yogācārabhūmi*.
