The commentary states: The entire scroll was divided into three sections at the beginning, and this is the third, the dissemination section. The meaning of this text is that when this single Śākyamuni carried out this intention, one should know that the other Śākyamunis did likewise. "From Maheśvara..." and so forth refers to expounding in the ten ocean-like worlds and other places, as explained at the beginning of the scroll. As for "treasury of the mind" and so forth, tradition says that the treasury of the mind is the three classes of worthies. The "treasury of the ground" is the stages of the ten classes of sages. The "treasury of precepts" is the ten major and forty-eight minor precepts. The "treasury of immeasurable practices and vows" is all the practices and vows of the aforementioned three classes of worthies and ten classes of sages. "Cause" refers to the three kalpas; "fruit" refers to the four wisdoms; "permanence of the Buddha-nature" is the pure dharmadhātu. From here down is the general conclusion, which can be understood from the text.
