仁王經疏 3.100

問：於此經中所說般若，三處不同：一〈二諦品〉中說八萬億偈、二〈護國品〉末八千億偈、此〈散華品〉十萬億偈。三處所說，有何差別？解云：〈二諦品〉中，合說三時諸佛所說，總有八萬億偈；而兆《仁王．護國品》中，別引過去七佛所說《仁王般若》；於此品中，申今佛說《仁王般若》。由斯三處所說不同。

Question: The prajñā expounded in this sūtra differs across three places: 1. in the "Chapter on the Two Truths," eighty billion verses are spoken; 2. at the end of the "Chapter on Protecting the State," eight thousand billion verses; 3. in this "Chapter on Scattering Flowers," one hundred billion verses. What is the difference among what is spoken in these three places?
Answer: In the "Chapter on the Two Truths," the teachings of the buddhas of the three periods of time are spoken together, totaling eighty billion verses. In the "Chapter on Protecting the State" of the Benevolent Kings [Sūtra], the Benevolent Kings Prajñā spoken by the past seven buddhas is specifically cited. In this chapter, the Benevolent Kings Prajñā spoken by the present Buddha is set forth. Because of this, what is spoken in the three places differs.
