At that time, the bodhisattvas who had come from the Sarvagandhasugandhā world joined their palms and addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honoured One, when we first saw this land we gave rise to thoughts of inferiority. Now we reproach ourselves and cast off this mindset. Why is this? The upāya of the Buddhas are inconceivable; for the sake of broadening sentient beings, they manifest different Buddha-lands according to what is appropriate." This fourth part is the mahāsattvas reproaching themselves. The text contains reproach and explanation. Sengzhao says: "Initially seeing the land to be defiled, they gave rise to thoughts of inferiority, thinking that the bodhisattvas also had superior and inferior grades. Hearing above of the Buddha's work, they now reproach themselves."
