2.13
The Commentary says: The second is the emanation body (nirmāṇakāya) in the pure land. It is traditionally said that this body corresponds to capacities prior to the grounds (bhūmis). Some say that only [those of] the four wholesome roots are born in the pure land, but in principle this is not necessarily so, since pure land sūtras state that others are also born there. Pure and defiled realms occupy the same location yet are perceived differently according to karma, just as the four consciousnesses differ regarding the same object; as it is said, Śāriputra saw mountains and rivers, whereas the Conch-Crested Brahmā King instead saw a jewel land.
