楞伽阿跋多羅寶經註解 2.125

2.125

凡所分別下，復釋被加之義，起後況釋之意。謂菩薩凡所辯說三昧等法，皆由住佛神力，即以凡況聖，言菩薩若離神力則不能有所說，況凡夫乎。若得神力，雖無情之物亦皆有用，況有情者而不得以脫苦耶？而言凡夫不住神力者，乃以聖奪凡耳。又云「如來有如是神力」者，即如來大寂定中，寂而常照，稱性施設萬端無不可者，亦豈有意於其間哉！

From 'whatever [bodhisattva-mahāsattvas] distinguish' onward, it further explains the meaning of receiving empowerment and introduces the comparison that follows. It means that whenever bodhisattvas speak with eloquence on dharmas such as samādhi, it is entirely due to abiding in the Buddha's supernatural power; this uses the ordinary to contrast with the noble, saying that if a bodhisattva were apart from supernatural power, he could not say anything—how much less an ordinary person! If supernatural power is attained, even insentient things are functional; how could sentient beings not thereby be freed from suffering? Stating that ordinary persons do not abide in supernatural power is merely using the noble to eclipse the ordinary. Moreover, saying 'The Tathāgata possesses such supernatural power' means that within the Tathāgata's great stillness of concentration, being quiescent yet always illumining, in accord with true nature he sets forth myriad means without obstruction—how could there be any deliberate intention in his midst!
