雲譬現身、雷譬說法、電譬放光、雨譬慈悲，如是三業能令眾生所見各別。問：莊嚴建立有何差別？答：並是不可思議一心三智，能嚴法身名為莊嚴，外益於彼名為建立。故《法華》云「定慧力莊嚴，以此度眾生。」度生即建立也。合如文。

Clouds are a metaphor for manifesting the body; thunder is a metaphor for preaching the Dharma; lightning is a metaphor for emitting light; rain is a metaphor for loving-kindness and compassion. In this way, the three karmas cause what sentient beings see to be distinct. Question: What is the difference between adornment and establishment? Answer: Both are the inconceivable three wisdoms in a single mind. Being able to adorn the dharma-body is called adornment; externally benefiting others is called establishment. Thus the *Lotus* says: 'Adorned with the power of concentration and wisdom, by this one delivers sentient beings.' Delivering sentient beings is establishment. The synthesis is as in the text.
