仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 1.210

1.210

Commentary: With right and universal awareness, he skillfully perceives the minds of others; knowing that the kings, having seen the signs, gave rise to their vow and looked up hoping for the rain of Dharma, the text is fully as before. Therefore, facing their capacities, the Buddha uttered words of sincerity and truth, addressing that great assembly with these words: "I know that the kings all have this thought: 'The World-Honoured One's great compassion universally benefits and gladdens all; how are we kings to protect our states?'" This indicates the external protection. Next is the third [part], generally indicating the internal protection.
