仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.375

3.375

解曰：為利眾生習諸伎藝者，標利他也。技術業藝，有無別故。文字者，書記故。醫方者，救療故。讚詠者，文辭故。戲㗛者，歌樂故。工巧者，彫鏤等故。呪術者，隱顯等故。外道異論者，十六異論故。吉凶占相者，占謂卜噬、相謂候貌，或於夢寐或於列宿，皆善占相能知吉凶，無錯謬故。從此第二明趣菩提。

The commentary explains: Regarding "for the benefit of sentient beings, they practice all crafts and arts": this marks the benefiting of others. Crafts, professions, and arts are undistinguished in their presence or absence. "Scripts" refers to writing and record-keeping. "Medicine" refers to healing and treating. "Eulogies" refers to literary compositions. "Humor" refers to songs and musical entertainment. "Craftsmanship" refers to engraving and carving, and so on. "Incantations" refers to arts of concealment, appearance, and so forth. "Heterodox treatises of non-Buddhists" refers to the sixteen heterodox treatises. Regarding "divination of auspicious and inauspicious portents": divination refers to yarrow and turtle-shell divination, and observing portents refers to examining appearances or signs; whether through dreams or celestial constellations, they are skilled in divination and physiognomy, able to know good and bad fortune without error. From here onward is the second [part], explaining the directing toward bodhi.
