仁王經疏 2.8

2.8

Explanation: Second, the Tathāgata directly answers. In this there are two parts: first he answers the first two questions, and then, from 'The Buddha told the Great King: What you previously said' downwards, he answers the third question. Within the former there are three parts: first he directly answers the two questions; next, from 'At that time, one million' downwards, the king praises in verse; finally, from 'The Buddha told all those who have attained the path' downwards, the Tathāgata approves. In answering the two questions, there are two parts: first he directly answers the previous question while also answering benefiting others; next, from 'addressed the Buddha, saying' downwards, he directly answers the latter question while also answering self-benefit. Within the former there are three parts: first he indicates the main theme with a brief answer; next, from 'Good sons' downwards, he broadly explains in sequence; finally, from 'the fundamental karma of sentient beings' downwards, having explained, he summarizes in conclusion. Within the brief answer in front, the text again has three parts: first he indicates the number with a brief answer; next he lists the names according to the number; finally he concludes by showing their intrinsic nature. This is the first. Following the concluding text below, [these are] the original practices of all buddhas and bodhisattvas; here, in accordance with the question and answer, he merely speaks of bodhisattvas.
