仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.471

3.471

Commentary: The words "fulfilling" convey the meaning of the ultimate. The words "undefiled" mean that outflows are forever exhausted. "Realm" (dhātu) conveys the meaning of a treasury (storehouse), because the mirror cognition contains and encompasses great merits; or it conveys the meaning of cause, because it produces all vehicles and widely brings benefit and happiness. "The ever-pure body of liberation" refers to transforming the impermanent aggregates to obtain the permanent Dharma, and because the pure dharmadhātu is free from arising and cessation, it is the true liberation whose essence is peace and bliss. "Quiescent and inconceivable" refers to bodhi and nirvāṇa both being quiescent. These ultimate fruits are both inconceivable, transcending the path of deliberation and speech. "Is called the All-Knowledge" points to cognition in concluding the name. Furthermore, these verses belong under the heading of the prose section; since the meaning of the worthies belongs to one category, it is not separated into a new division. The final fruits and virtues are completely clear as before. This completes the entire first section on the upholding by the thirteen Dharma masters. Next is the second section, clarifying the upholding by the sixteen kings. Within this there are three parts: first, the kings' upholding; next, clarifying the Dharma that protects the state; after that, the kings obtaining benefits. Concerning the first part, the kings' upholding, the text is divided into five: 1. clarifying the Dharma that protects the state; 2. broadly clarifying the seven calamities; 3. clarifying the causes of the calamities; 4. clarifying the virtues of prajñā; 5. clarifying the rise and decline of the teaching. Within the first section, the text is divided into two: first, clarifying the time of protecting the state; afterwards, clarifying the Dharma that is entrusted. The first text is again divided into two: first, clarifying the time of protecting the state.
