Sūtra translation

Only the superintending deities are denoted (by such terms); for they have superior powers and are personally present (in all places).

In such texts (as are quoted above), the deities that preside over earth, etc., are denoted (meant to be conveyed by those words). For they have, as distinguished from other (beings), exalted powers, and they are also found present everywhere. Hence, all that has been said of them is possible and stands to reason.
