概眾稽首皈依，流通誦讀之際，如來降天花普散繽紛，即離寶座，對大眾道：「汝等俱是一心，且看二心競鬥而來也。」
概众稽首皈依，流通诵读之际，如来降天花普散缤纷，即离宝座，对大众道：「汝等俱是一心，且看二心竞斗而来也。」
The whole assembly bowed their heads and took refuge; and in the midst of their circulating and reciting, the Tathāgata sent down heavenly flowers scattered in profusion, left his precious seat at once, and said to the multitude: "You are all of one mind. Now behold: two minds come contending hither."
He rises before they arrive and announces what is coming. 降 takes jiàng, to send down; 普散 takes sàn. 俱是一心 against 二心競鬥 sets the chapter's title against the assembly inside a single sentence.
One segment, and it does more work than the five courts that precede it. The Buddha does not wait to be petitioned, does not examine the pair, and does not ask which is which. He rises from his seat before they arrive and announces what is coming.
汝等俱是一心，且看二心競鬥而來也 sets the assembly's unity against the pair's division in one balanced sentence, and in doing so it reframes the entire chapter. Everyone before this has treated the problem as arithmetic — there are two, and one is false. The Buddha describes it as a condition: 二心, two minds, the thing the title names and the poem diagnosed. He is not identifying an impostor. He is naming a state.
The timing is the point. He knows before he is told, which is the first time in the chapter that any authority has been ahead of the case rather than behind it. Five courts asked to be shown something. This one has already seen it.
