'When this land of Abhirati was manifested, fourteen nayutas of people in the Saha world brought forth the mind of anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, and all vowed to be born in the Buddha-land of Abhirati. Śākyamuni Buddha immediately bestowed a prophecy upon them, saying, "You shall be born in that land."' This is fifth, clarifying the benefit to the assembly. The text has three parts: bringing forth the mind, making vows, and the Buddha's prophecy, as in the text. There are two purposes for Abhirati's appearance: first, to bear witness to Jingming's pure land; second, to cause those with conditions to bring forth the mind.
