注大乘入楞伽經 1.72

1.72

This means that the King of Laṅkā, having received permission, immediately conjured adorned offerings—namely various flowers, incenses, banners, standards, canopies, and necklaces, which are all articles of adornment. Xian refers to a type of curtain. Furthermore, he conjured all the musical instruments existing in the desire realm and exceeding those of the worlds of gods and dragons throughout all buddha lands to make offerings, symbolizing his reverence for the Dharma. Moreover, in the sky he rained down various offerings, which descended from the void, symbolizing his humble and reverent request for the Dharma. "The tathāgatas of the past have already explained it for me" clarifies that the tathāgatas of the three times share the same Dharma. "World-Honoured One! The two meanings spoken by transformation tathāgatas are not what the fundamental Buddha speaks": this means that the reward and transformation bodies are not the true Buddha, nor are they the speakers of the Dharma; therefore he wished the World-Honoured One, the fundamental Buddha, to explain them. The World-Honoured One told him that he would explain the two meanings for him.
