大般若波羅蜜多經般若理趣分述讚 1.24

1.24

又第四解：此中九句，初之一句總歎四智法身報身，次有二句歎位尊德廣，次三句別歎三德，後三句別歎三神變。欲令眾生聞佛功德，生勝歡喜殷重聞法起趣求故。佛具此德以歎經初，令知所說最勝妙故。

And fourth, another explanation: within these nine phrases, the first phrase generally praises the four wisdoms, the dharmakāya, and the reward body; the next two phrases praise the venerability of the rank and the vastness of the virtues; the next three phrases individually praise the three virtues; and the last three phrases individually praise the three miracles. This is because he wished to make sentient beings, upon hearing the Buddha's virtues, generate supreme joy, listen to the Dharma with earnest respect, and give rise to striving. The Buddha is endowed with these virtues, and praises them at the beginning of the sūtra to make them know that what is expounded is the most supreme and marvelous.
