A commentary on a sutra "Dainichikyosho" interprets Butsugenbutsumo as 'various Buddha observe people and appear to them in the right form to save them' based on the Mahayana Buddhism idea such that Bodhisattva is trying to save all sentient beings.
また『大日経疏』では、「諸々の仏が人々を観察し、彼らを救うために最も相応しい姿を表す」という大乗仏教の下化衆生思想に基づく解釈も行われている。
