仁王經疏 2.270

2.270

釋曰：自下第三如來述成領解。文別有二：初讚王能說、後「善男子」下讚所說法。前中有二：初讚王能說、後世尊述讚。二能說中，文有二節：初標所告眾、後對眾正讚。此即初也。謂聽眾中，天眾最勝，或得聖果，是實非化，故名得道果實。天眾言善男子等者，第二對眾正讚。敘今勝古，成師子吼。謂於過去龍光佛邊，為第四炎慧開士，我為第八等觀開士；我今成佛，汝來第九地，作師子吼。

The commentary states: From here on, third, the Tathāgata confirms and approves the understanding. The text is divided into two parts: first, praising the king's ability to expound; afterward, from 'Good son' downward, praising the Dharma that was expounded. In the former, there are two parts: first, praising the king's ability to expound; afterward, the World-Honoured One's confirmation and praise. In [the first, praising his] ability to expound, the text has two sections: first, indicating the assembly addressed; afterward, directly praising [him] before the assembly. This is the first. It means that among the audience, the heavenly multitude is the most supreme; or having attained the noble fruition, they are real and not emanations; hence they are called 'those who attained the fruit of the Path, real.' 'Heavenly multitude, Good son, etc.' is the second, directly praising him before the assembly. Narrating the present superiority over the past, he accomplishes the lion's roar. That is, in the past under the Buddha Prabhāpāla, he was the fourth bodhi-being of Flaming Wisdom, and I was the eighth bodhi-being of Equal Contemplation; now I have attained buddhahood, and you have reached the ninth bhūmi and made the lion's roar.
