仁王經疏 2.143

2.143

釋曰：自下第二以偈正讚。此中總有二十九行偈半，大分為三：初一偈半，略歎佛德；次「五忍」下二十五偈，廣歎五忍德；後「如來」下有三偈，歎佛化業。就歎佛德，文別有三：初有半偈歎佛自體，即歎佛寶；次有半偈歎佛說法，即歎法寶；後有半偈歎佛攝眾，即歎僧寶。此即初也。然此頌文，諸說不同。若依《本記》，頌初二句明佛三業，具足五義：一世尊者，威德具足。二導師者，智慧具足。三金剛體者，法身具足。四心行寂滅者，解脫具足。五轉法輪者，化他具足。解云：五中金剛體者，歎法身德，餘之三句歎受用身。轉法輪者，讚其化身。三身別相，具如別章。一云：初二句讚佛三密。初之一句，讚佛身密具一切德，眾所尊重，名為世尊；相好圓滿，引導眾生，名為導師；其身不壞，猶如金剛，故名金剛體。於後句中讚二種密。初之四字讚其意密，內證真如，離能所相，故名心行寂滅。後之三字讚其語密，遠近同聞，無所壅隔，名轉法輪。若廣分別，如《三密經》。

Commentary: From here downwards is the second [part], directly praising in verse. Here there are twenty-nine and a half lines of verse in total, broadly divided into three: first, one and a half verses briefly praise the Buddha's virtues; next, the twenty-five verses from 'five patiences' downwards extensively praise the virtues of the five patiences; later, the three verses from 'Tathāgata' downwards praise the Buddha's transformative activities. In praising the Buddha's virtues, the text has three distinct parts: first, half a verse praises the Buddha's own nature, which praises the Buddha Jewel; next, half a verse praises the Buddha's teaching, which praises the Dharma Jewel; later, half a verse praises the Buddha's gathering of the assembly, which praises the Saṃgha Jewel. This is the first. However, regarding this verse text, various accounts differ. According to the Benji, the first two lines of the verse elucidate the Buddha's three karmas, possessing five meanings: 1. 'The World-Honoured One' means possessing majestic virtue. 2. 'The Guide' means possessing wisdom. 3. 'Of adamantine body' means possessing the dharmakāya. 4. 'With mental activities extinguished' means possessing liberation. 5. 'Turns the wheel of the Dharma' means possessing the transformation of others. The explanation says: Among the five, 'of adamantine body' praises the virtue of the dharmakāya, while the remaining three lines praise the sambhogakāya. 'Turns the wheel of the Dharma' praises his nirmāṇakāya. The distinctive characteristics of the three bodies are explained fully in a separate chapter. Another says: The first two lines praise the Buddha's three mysteries. The first line praises the Buddha's bodily mystery possessing all virtues and being venerated by all, hence called 'the World-Honoured One'; with marks and signs complete and guiding sentient beings, he is called 'the Guide'; his body is indestructible, like a vajra, hence called 'adamantine body'. In the subsequent line he praises two kinds of mysteries: the first four words praise his mental mystery, internally realizing tathatā and transcending subject and object characteristics, hence called 'with mental activities extinguished'; the last three words praise his verbal mystery, heard equally near and far without obstruction, called 'turning the wheel of the Dharma'. A broad discrimination is as found in the Sūtra on the Three Mysteries.
