仁王般若經疏 1.58

1.58

第十二列變化眾。此是不思議菩薩，故能變十方淨土及佛眾等來至此土。就文為三：一明不思議力能變土；二有無量下，明不思議力能現佛及菩薩；三一一佛各各下，明不思議力能說般若。初明變土者，文云十方者，六方及四維也。淨土者，如西方淨土也。百億者，百億日月、百億須彌也。有無量化佛下，二明不思議力能現佛及菩薩。後明八部者，一剎利眾、二沙門眾、三婆羅門、四四天王眾、五三十三天眾、六六欲天眾、七魔眾、八梵眾。又言龍鬼八部者，一乾闥婆、二毘舍闍，此二屬提頭賴吒天王；三名鳩盤荼、四名薜荔多，此二屬毘留勒叉天王；五龍、六富單那，此二屬毘留博叉天王；七名夜叉、八名羅剎，此二屬毘沙門天王。

Twelfth, listing the assembly of emanations. These are inconceivable bodhisattvas, and thus they are able to transform the pure lands of the ten directions, as well as buddhas and assemblies, to come to this land. With respect to the text there are three [parts]: 1. explaining the inconceivable power capable of transforming lands; 2. from 'with immeasurable' onward, explaining the inconceivable power capable of manifesting buddhas and bodhisattvas; 3. from 'each individual buddha' onward, explaining the inconceivable power capable of expounding prajñā. First, explaining the transformation of lands: the text says 'ten directions', which are the six directions and the four intermediate directions. 'Pure lands' are like the Western Pure Land. 'Ten billion' means ten billion suns and moons, ten billion Sumerus. From 'being immeasurable transformed buddhas' onward, second, explaining the inconceivable power capable of manifesting buddhas and bodhisattvas. Later, explaining the eight classes: 1. kṣatriya assembly, 2. śramaṇa assembly, 3. brāhmaṇa [assembly], 4. Four Heavenly Kings assembly, 5. Thirty-Three Heavens assembly, 6. Six Desire Heavens assembly, 7. Māra assembly, 8. Brahmā assembly. Furthermore, regarding the eight classes of dragons and spirits: 1. gandharvas, 2. piśācas—these two belong to Heavenly King Dhṛtarāṣṭra; 3. kumbhāṇḍas, 4. pretas—these two belong to Heavenly King Virūḍhaka; 5. nāgas, 6. pūtanas—these two belong to Heavenly King Virūpākṣa; 7. yakṣas, 8. rākṣasas—these two belong to Heavenly King Vaiśravaṇa.
