瑜伽師地論略纂 10.48

10.48

The intended meaning where the treatise explains the cause of possessing great power is: by making offerings to the Three Jewels, venerable elders, and so forth, one makes great vows, vowing that in future lifetimes one will gather various merits and bring them to fruition within one's own person. With such offerings, vows, and so forth as the cause, in the future one brings about the possession of great power; this is the intention here.
