若依〈藥王菩薩本事品〉者,應言淨藏淨眼品。但此正是往古國王,邪見熾盛不信三寶,然淨眼二子是大菩薩而應生此家,轉王邪見之心得正見之解,從所化受品名,故為品目也。今就此品中大判有六段:第一先明事本;第二仍稱歎二子有深德美行;第三明雲雷音王佛為說《法華》;第四正明二子化父本事,此是品之來意;第五段仍會通古今;第六段明經家敘說此品時眾得利益也。
If following the "Chapter on the Former Deeds of Bodhisattva Bhaiṣajyarāja," it should be called the Chapter on Jalagarbha and Jalaprabha. But this concerns precisely a king of ancient times whose wrong views were rampant and who did not believe in the Three Jewels, yet the two sons [Jalagarbha and] Jalaprabha were great bodhisattvas who manifested birth in this household and transformed the king's mind of wrong views to attain the understanding of right view; taking its name from the one transformed, it was thus made the chapter title. Now within this chapter it is broadly divided into six sections: first, explaining the origin of the event; second, then praising the two sons as possessing profound virtue and fine conduct; third, explaining King Jaladharagarjita Buddha preaching the Lotus [Sūtra] for them; fourth, directly explaining the past event of the two sons transforming their father, which is the underlying purpose of the chapter; the fifth section then connects past and present; the sixth section explains the compiler of the sūtra recounting the benefits obtained by the assembly when this chapter was spoken.
