When those bodhisattvas heard this, they all said: "This is unprecedented! Such as the World-Honoured One, Śākyamuni Buddha, conceals his immeasurable power of sovereign mastery and delivers sentient beings by means of the dharmas they impoverishedly crave." (Third, praise and affirmation, in two parts. This is the first, praising the Buddha. Sengzhao says: "The Buddhas are equal, yet their traces vary. That their traces vary is due to the lowliness and inferiority of living beings, whose aspirations and vows are narrow and petty; therefore, the Buddha conceals his sovereign power, identifies with their poverty and meagerness, and accords with what they delight in to rescue them. Responding to resonance without fixed bounds, he does not discriminate between pure and defiled. This is truly unprecedented.")
