1.96

三時身命者。即經云：「須菩提！若有善男子、善女人，初日分以恒河沙等身命布施，乃至何況書寫受持讀誦為人解說。」喻所下有二意。一即於此內、外二財喻之不及。二即如下文云：「我念過去無量阿僧祇劫，於然燈佛前，乃至譬喻所不能及。」含茲二意故云喻所不及。

"Bodies and lives at the three times": that is, the sūtra says: "Subhūti! If there were a good man or good woman who, in the initial part of the day, gave away bodies and lives equal to the sands of the Ganges River ... even up to how much more so copying, upholding, reading, reciting, and explaining it for others." "Beyond the reach of metaphor" below has two meanings: first, that it cannot be equaled by the metaphors of these internal and external kinds of wealth; second, as the text below says: "I recall in the past, immeasurable asaṃkhyeya kalpas ago, before Dīpaṅkara Buddha ... even up to not being reachable by metaphor." Containing these two meanings, it is thus said to be beyond the reach of metaphor.
