仁王般若經疏 3.170

3.170

The sūtra has three main sections; now this is the third, the dissemination section. What is called "entrustment" explains that the Tathāgata earnestly entrusted [the teaching] to the kings and charged the assemblies of bodhisattvas; hence it is called the "Chapter on Entrustment". This chapter is divided into four sections: first, admonishing Candraprabha and generally exhorting dissemination, so as to explain entrustment; from "In the future world of the five defilements" downward, second, seven items specifically admonishing the kings and the four groups of disciples; from "At that time the sixteen great kings, having heard the Buddha's seven admonitions" downward, third, explaining that the kings do not restrain the four groups of disciples; from "At that time the immeasurable great assembly" downward, fourth, explaining that the assembly of the time joyfully receives and upholds it. Within the preceding general exhortation to disseminate, it is further divided into three: first, admonishing Candraprabha, explaining the times and periods of the Dharma's decline; second, from "This sūtra and the Three Jewels" downward, explaining the persons to whom it is entrusted; third, from "for the sake of the sentient beings of the three realms" downward, explaining the benefits of dissemination.
