仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.544

3.544

解曰：言金剛寶者，如彼經云，虛空藏菩薩也。依前法輪，現勝妙身，修檀等行，三輪淨故。手持金剛摩尼者，體淨堅密猶如金剛，即是金剛如意寶也，隨諸有情所求皆得也。依教令輪，現作威怒甘露軍吒利金剛，示現八臂，摧伏一切阿脩羅眾、炎魔眷屬、諸惡鬼神，惱害有情行疾疫者，令調伏故。放白色光者，顯能除遣脩羅等也。與彼南方增長天王，及將無量恭畔荼眾、薜荔多眾而為眷屬，餘如文矣。從此第三西方菩薩。

Explanation: Regarding "Vajragarbha," as that sūtra says, this is the bodhisattva Ākāśagarbha. In accordance with the previous wheel of Dharma, he manifests an exquisitely marvelous body, cultivating practices such as dāna, because his three wheels are pure. "Holding a vajra-maṇi in his hand" means that its substance is pure, hard, and dense like a vajra; this is precisely the vajra wish-fulfilling jewel, and whatever sentient beings seek is obtained. In accordance with the wheel of command, he manifests the wrathful Amṛtakuṇḍalī Vajra, displaying an eight-armed body, subduing all the hosts of asuras, the retinue of Yama, and all evil ghosts and spirits who afflict and harm sentient beings by spreading pestilence, in order to tame them. "Radiating white light" reveals his ability to banish the asuras and the like. He has the Heavenly King Virūḍhaka of the southern direction, along with immeasurable hosts of kumbhāṇḍas and pretas, as his retinue. The rest is as in the text. Hereafter is the third part: the bodhisattva of the western direction.
