大毘盧遮那成佛經疏 11.29

11.29

Where it says: "The Bhagavat said to the Vajradhara Lord of Secrets: 'Excellent, excellent, Lord of Secrets! Excellent again that you are able to question the Tathāgata on such an arbor of meaning'"—this clarifies the repeated praise of the Vajradhara Lord of Secrets for raising such a question out of pity for future practitioners cultivating the mantra path. Where it says: "Listen attentively and contemplate it well; I shall now proclaim it"—this intention addresses the entire assembly, saying: "Listen attentively and contemplate it well; I will explain such matters for you." Where it says: "The Lord of Secrets said: 'So it is, Bhagavat! We wish and desire to hear'"—this reaffirms that the Tathāgata's compassion is all-pervading, confirming and according with this question to explain it.
