Prolonged duration extending to what follows. The commentary states: In evaluating prolonged duration extending to three places, it refers to the Prajñā's ocean of emptiness, the Lotus's Buddha-wisdom, and the Nirvāṇa's mind-ground Dharma-gate.

(The Qian states: 'Because Prajñā can also be named Avataṃsaka, and the Lotus's Buddha-wisdom is not different from the beginning. Furthermore, the Miaole states: One should know that in discussing the Dharma realm, there is none that is not the Avataṃsaka; in speaking of Buddha-wisdom, there is none that is not the Lotus.')
