仁王經疏 2.403

2.403

釋曰：第二、世尊正答。文別有二：初世尊略答、後「七佛」下廣釋前難。略中有三：初讚問有因、次略示義端、後勸發三慧。此即初也。謂王曾問過去七佛，故今能問一二之義。言過去七佛者，一毘婆尸佛前更說一佛，如次第二毘婆尸、第三式佛、第四尸棄、第五毘舍、第六拘那含、第七迦葉（勘）。又解：毘婆尸第一、釋迦文第七，從多為論，故云過去七佛；據實釋迦一佛即是現在。

Commentary: Second, the World-Honoured One directly answers. The text is divided into two parts: first, the World-Honoured One briefly answers; second, from 'seven buddhas' onward, he extensively explains the previous dilemma. In the brief answer there are three parts: first, praising the question as having a cause; next, briefly showing the direction of the meaning; finally, encouraging the generation of the three kinds of wisdom. This is the first part. It means that the king previously inquired of the past seven buddhas, and therefore he is now able to ask about the meaning of one and two. Regarding the past seven buddhas: before Vipaśyin Buddha, another buddha is spoken of, followed in order by the second, Vipaśyin; the third, Śikhin; the fourth, Viśvabhū; the fifth, Krakucchanda; the sixth, Kanakamuni; the seventh, Kāśyapa (to be verified). Another explanation: Vipaśyin is the first and Śākyamuni is the seventh; speaking in terms of the majority, they are called the past seven buddhas; in reality, the single buddha Śākyamuni is the present.
