釋曰:第三、結釋勸供。是五大力士者,結五菩薩。五千神王等者,釋成利益。「當立像形」下,勸供養。勸供養法,如《五神王因緣經》中說雷電吼菩薩因緣中教人作讀經寫經法。法用者,應作一團屋,八面安壁,外薝隨力莊嚴,令其精好。八角之中開小門,通人入出。於其室內置八面床,留小空地擬人行處。八壁內外,香泥塗飾。一一壁上,各量身坐,當兩眼前以開兩孔,使得見經。正當二手,復開二孔,得容二手,來去捉經。欲讀經時,安經壁外經架案上。壁內壁外並燒好香。香湯豆麵以浴身手,及將瀨口。善須看風,若也東風即東壁外安置經卷,在壁內向東讀經,使風吹口氣隨風西去不熏經卷。以口有番氣,故作此屋。寫經類讚,法用如前(更勘)。

The explanation says: Third, concluding the explanation by encouraging offerings. "These five great wrestlers" concludes the five bodhisattvas. "Five thousand spirit kings, etc." explains the accomplishment of benefit. From "should set up their images" onward, it encourages making offerings. The method of encouraging offerings is as taught in the Sūtra on the Causes and Conditions of the Five Spirit Kings, within the causes and conditions of Bodhisattva Vidyutprasphurita-garjita, which teaches people the method of reciting and copying the sūtra. As for the practical ritual: one should construct a round chamber with walls erected on eight sides, and decorate the exterior eaves according to one's means to make them exquisite and fine. In the eight corners, open small doors to allow people to enter and exit. Within that chamber, place an eight-sided couch, leaving a small open space intended as a walkway for people. On the inside and outside of the eight walls, smear and adorn with fragrant mud. On each wall, measuring according to the seated body, open two holes before both eyes so that one can see the sūtra. Directly aligned with both hands, open another two holes large enough to accommodate both hands to reach back and forth to hold the sūtra. When desiring to read the sūtra, place the sūtra outside the wall upon a sūtra stand or table. Inside and outside the walls, burn fine incense. Use fragrant broth and pea flour to bathe the body and hands, and rinse the mouth. One must properly observe the wind: if there is an easterly wind, place the sūtra scroll outside the eastern wall and read the sūtra inside the wall facing east, so that the wind blows the breath from the mouth westward with the wind without scenting the sūtra scroll. Because the mouth has foul breath, this chamber is constructed. Copying the sūtra and praising it are comparable; the practical ritual is as before (examine further).
