仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.522

3.522

Exposition: 'Like' means citing an analogy. In Sanskrit it is maṇi; here it is translated as 'jewel', following the old translation. The new translation renders it maṇi; fully it should be cintāmaṇi, which here translates to 'jewel of thought'. Translating by sense, it is called 'wish-fulfilling jewel' (ruyi baozhu), because whatever one's mind seeks is completely fulfilled. 'Whose substance possesses manifold virtues' indicates the manifold virtues below. From here on is the second, separately revealing its superior virtues.
