妙法蓮華經玄義 6.109

6.109

伊帝目多伽有二種：一者、結句。言我先許說者，今已說竟。二者、更有經，名一目多伽。有人言：因多伽目多伽，名出三藏及摩訶衍，何等是？如淨飯王強逼千釋令出家，佛選堪得道者五百人，將往舍婆提，令離親屬。身子、目連教化，初中後夜，專精不睡，以夜為長。後得道還本國，從迦毘羅婆林五十里入城乞食，覺道路為長。時有師子，來禮佛足，為三因緣說偈（云云），說此三事本因緣，故名一目多伽也。

As for *ityuktaka*, there are two kinds: The first is a concluding phrase, stating: 'What I previously promised to preach, I have now finished preaching.' The second is another scripture named *ityuktaka*. Some say: *intyuktaka* (*ityuktaka*) is named outside the Tripiṭaka and the Mahāyāna. What is it? For instance, when King Śuddhodana forced one thousand Śākyas to go forth as monastics, the Buddha selected five hundred people who were capable of attaining the Way, brought them to Śrāvastī, and made them leave their relatives. Śāriputra and Maudgalyāyana instructed them; during the initial, middle, and final watches of the night, they were diligent and did not sleep, feeling the night to be long. Later, having attained the Way, they returned to their native land, and entering the city to beg for food from the Kapilavastu grove fifty li away, they felt the road to be long. At that time, there was a lion who came to pay homage to the Buddha's feet, and for the sake of these three causal conditions, verses were spoken (and so forth). Because it speaks of the original causal conditions of these three matters, it is named *ityuktaka*.
