仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.566

3.566

解曰：梵云娜謨，此云歸命。梵云囉怛娜，此翻云寶。梵云怛囉夜野，此翻云三。彼云歸命寶三，此云歸命三寶。謂由持經誦陀羅尼者密語，乃云歸命三寶也，何須歸依。自下謹依三藏《金剛頂瑜伽經》梵夾對翻解也。如彼經云歸依佛陀者，即得諸佛五菩薩等一切菩薩與諸眷屬皆來加護。謂諸菩薩尊敬菩提心，見發菩提心、歸依佛者，常加護故。歸依達摩，即得帝釋并諸眷屬四天王等皆來加護。謂由帝釋往因危難得般若法加護獲益，常尊敬故。歸依僧伽，即得色究竟天五淨居等并諸眷屬皆來加護。謂諸菩薩及聲聞僧，居彼天中住現法樂，常尊敬故。從此第二別明三歸。於中分二：且初第一明歸佛寶。

Explanation: The Sanskrit says "namo"; here it is translated as "taking refuge with one's life". The Sanskrit says "ratna"; here it is translated as "jewel". The Sanskrit says "trayāya"; here it is translated as "three". There it says "taking refuge with life in the jewel three"; here it says "taking refuge in the Three Jewels". It means that because those who uphold the sūtra and recite the dhāraṇī recite the esoteric words, they declare taking refuge in the Three Jewels; why need one take refuge? From here below, I respectfully rely on the Sanskrit palm-leaves of the Tripiṭaka Master's Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha Sūtra to provide a parallel translation and explanation. As that sūtra says: taking refuge in the Buddha, one immediately receives the empowering protection of all buddhas, the five bodhisattvas, all bodhisattvas, and their retinues, who all come to give protection. This means that all bodhisattvas venerate the bodhicitta; seeing those who produce the bodhicitta and take refuge in the Buddha, they constantly protect them. Taking refuge in the Dharma, one immediately receives the empowering protection of Śakra together with his retinue, the Four Heavenly Kings, and others, who all come to give protection. This means that because Śakra in the past obtained benefit through the protection of the prajñā teachings during times of crisis and danger, he constantly venerates it. Taking refuge in the Saṅgha, one immediately receives the empowering protection of the Akaniṣṭha heaven, the five Pure Abodes, and others together with their retinues, who all come to give protection. This means that all bodhisattvas and the Śrāvaka Saṅgha abide in that heaven dwelling in the bliss of the present Dharma, and they constantly venerate them. From here, the second [part] separately explains the three refuges. Within this it divides into two: first, explaining taking refuge in the Buddha Jewel.
