仁王經疏 3.135

3.135

Explanation: The second [point] is properly explaining in accordance with the text. In the previous five chapters the main doctrine was analyzed to completion; therefore, the following two chapters concern respectfully upholding according to the teaching. Within this there are two: first, clarifying receiving and upholding; and later, clarifying entrustment. This is the first. Within this one chapter, the text has three distinct parts: first, the questions and answers properly explaining the thirteen Dharma masters; next, from "The Buddha told Pasenadi" downward, entrusting to the kings to receive and uphold; and later, from "At that time the great assembly" downward, clarifying the contemporary assembly obtaining benefit. The former has two: first, King Moonlight requests; and later, the Great Muni Tathāgata properly explains. In the request there are two: first, observing the auspicious sign and conceiving doubt; and later, voicing words to state the request. This is the first. The text has three segments: first, observing Śākyamuni's five kinds of supernormal transformations. Second, seeing the Buddha Baoman on the dais as the lord of the transformation bodies of all buddhas. According to the Brahmā Net Sūtra, this is Rocana Buddha, also called Luchaona, and also called Luozheluo; translated here as "Illuminating," because the reward buddha's pure form completely pervades the Dharma realm. Furthermore, just as the light of the sun, moon, and lamps completely pervades a single place, this is also what Rocana means. Alternatively, it can be translated according to meaning as "Treasure-Full" (Baoman). This Buddha emanates a thousand-petaled Śākyamuni Buddha, and on the ten billion petals are transformation buddhas; hence he is called the lord of transformation bodies. Third, "again manifesting buddhas in the thousand-flower-petaled worlds": these are the thousand buddhas upon the thousand flower petals, and the ten billion buddhas upon each individual petal. Among them, the buddhas as described above each teach prajñāpāramitā. This corresponds to the Brahmā Net Sūtra's verse: "I now, Rocana, / Am just sitting upon the lotus dais. / Surrounding upon the thousand flowers, / Again appear a thousand Śākyamunis. / One flower has ten billion lands, / One land has one Śākyamuni, / Each sitting beneath a bodhi tree, / Simultaneously realizing the Buddha path."
