4.33

彼菩薩聞說是已已下品中大段第六。上方大士嘆佛及菩薩皆曰未曾有也。嘆釋迦如來平等空慧而能隱於無量方便之力逐物所威種種說法隨天人所樂。實為希有。斯諸菩薩復能謙下。謙下不辭劬勞不擇淨穢。生於此土也。

From “When those bodhisattvas heard this explanation…” onwards is the sixth major section in the chapter. The mahāsattvas from the higher realm praise the Buddha and the bodhisattvas, all saying, “It is unprecedented!” They praise Śākyamuni Tathāgata’s equanimous wisdom of emptiness, by which he is able to conceal his immeasurable power of skillful means, adapting to the capacities of beings to preach the Dharma in various ways according to what gods and humans delight in—which is truly rare. These bodhisattvas, furthermore, are able to be humble: in their humility they do not decline toil and hardship, nor do they discriminate between pure and impure, in being born in this land.
