維摩經疏 1.26

1.26

Next, the four lines below are the fourth section, which repeats the recitation of the previous events. "Now offering to the Bhagavat this umbrella cover" recites what happened previously within the cover. "Wherein my three-thousand-world system appeared" recites the previous complete appearance, in breadth and length, covering the three-thousand-fold world system. "The palaces where the devas, nāgas, and spirits dwell" recites the previous appearance within the cover of all the heavenly palaces and the palaces of nāgas and spirits. "Completely manifesting all that exists in the world" recites the previous Mount Meru, Iron Ring Mountains, and so on. "The Ten-Powered One compassionately manifested these transformations" expresses the need to acknowledge the Buddha's grace. The Buddha is endowed with the ten powers; it is because the Ten-Powered Honoured One took pity on us that he manifested these transformations. "The assembly, beholding this rare sight, all praised the Buddha" recites how the great assembly previously beheld the Buddha's supernormal power and marveled at having never seen the like. "I now bow my head to the Honoured One of the three realms" concludes their taking refuge and paying reverence.
