仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.548

3.548

解曰：梵云藥叉，此云威德，又翻為盡，能盡諸怨故。如彼經云，摧一切魔怨菩薩也。依前法輪，現勝妙身，事智圓滿，得自在故。手持金剛鈴者，鈴音震擊，覺悟有情，表以般若警群迷故。依教令輪，現作威怒淨身金剛，示四臂身，摧伏一切可畏藥叉，常於晝夜伺求方便奪人精氣害有情者，令調伏故。放瑠璃色光者，顯能除遣藥叉等也。與彼北方多聞天王，及將無量藥叉、無量邏剎娑眾而為眷屬，餘如文矣。從此第五中方菩薩。

Explanation: In Sanskrit yakṣa, translated here as "awe-inspiring virtue" (weide) and also translated as "exhaustive" (jin), because they can exhaust all adversaries. As that sūtra says, this is the bodhisattva Sarvamāramardanaprabha. In accordance with the previous wheel of Dharma, he manifests an exquisitely marvelous body, his activity-wisdom being complete, because he has attained mastery. "Holding a vajra bell in his hand": the sound of the bell reverberates to awaken sentient beings, symbolizing the use of prajñā to alert the deluded masses. In accordance with the wheel of command, he manifests the wrathful Vajra of Pure Body, displaying a four-armed body, subduing all terrifying yakṣas who constantly seek an opportunity day and night to seize people's vital energy and harm sentient beings, in order to tame them. "Radiating lapis-colored light" reveals his ability to banish yakṣas and the like. He has the Heavenly King Vaiśravaṇa of the northern direction, along with immeasurable hosts of yakṣas and immeasurable rākṣasas, as his retinue. The rest is as in the text. Hereafter is the fifth part: the bodhisattva of the central direction.
