仁王般若經疏 2.86

2.86

善男子下，大段第五校量說中有二。一正校量第二我今下歎說利益。初就校量中歎月光所說功德如大海水，十地菩薩說如海一滴。又解：不然，月光所說如海一滴，十地菩薩說如大海水，以是勝故，經言灌頂開士說是功德百千億分中，王所說如海一滴，不及十地菩薩說如大海。第二利益中有三：初我今下，約釋迦所說以明月光說真能益眾生；二去來今下，約三世佛述印可；三三賢下，約四十賢聖歎月光分義功德挍量竟。

From "good son" onward is the fifth major section, the comparative assessment, which has two parts: first, the direct comparative assessment; second, from "I now" onward, praising the benefit of the teaching. First, regarding the comparative assessment: praising the merit spoken by Moonlight as being like the water of the great ocean, while what a daśabhūmi bodhisattva speaks is like a drop in the ocean. Another interpretation says: this is not so; what Moonlight spoke is like a single drop in the ocean, and what a daśabhūmi bodhisattva speaks is like the water of the great ocean. Because the latter is superior, the sūtra says that among hundreds of thousands of koṭis of parts of this merit spoken by consecrated bodhisattvas, what the king has spoken is like a drop in the ocean, falling short of what a daśabhūmi bodhisattva speaks, which is like the great ocean. In the second part on the benefits, there are three: first, from "I now" onward, drawing on what Śākyamuni spoke to explain that Moonlight's exposition can truly benefit sentient beings; second, from "past, future, and present" onward, drawing on the confirmation of the buddhas of the three times; third, from "three ranks of the worthy" onward, drawing on the forty worthy and noble ones who praise the merit of Moonlight's partial meaning. The comparative assessment is concluded.
