仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.369

2.369

解曰：人中師子者，師子出聲百獸潛伏，如來演說諸障雲消，故以喻也。為演說者，讚五忍也。甚深等者，二乘不測，故云甚深，曠劫難聞，未曾有故。塵沙等者，以法威力聞所未聞，塵沙剎土皆震動故。大眾等者，大眾聞法領解歡喜，若凡若聖皆蒙益故。具斯眾德，故讚悲深。三示道中偏讚此者，後誡示導利樂廣故。從此第三結讚敬禮。

The commentary explains: 'The lion among humans' means that when a lion roars, the hundred beasts crouch and hide; when the Tathāgata expounds, all obstacles vanish like clouds, hence the analogy. 'Expounds for them' praises the five kṣāntis. 'Profoundly deep, etc.' means: the two vehicles cannot fathom it, hence it is called 'profoundly deep'; it is difficult to hear across vast kalpas, hence it is 'unprecedented'. 'Lands numerous as grains of sand, etc.' means: through the mighty power of the Dharma, upon hearing what has never been heard before, lands numerous as grains of sand all tremble and shake. 'The great assembly, etc.' means: the great assembly, upon hearing the Dharma, understands and rejoices; whether ordinary beings or noble ones, all receive benefit. Being endowed with these manifold virtues, his deep compassion is therefore praised. Among the three manners of showing the path, this one is specifically praised here because the subsequent admonition and guidance bring vast benefit and joy. From here, the third section concludes the praise with reverent homage.
