次引〈藥王〉中為二:初正引證,次「引諸」下以四例教。初文二:先引、次釋。初又二:先總舉數去取,次列。初文者,〈藥王品〉佛為宿王華說十喻,今但引六者,餘四望六猶成分喻,是故合四在此六中。何者?以輪王釋王,不及梵王,故合入梵王喻中;五佛子及菩薩不及於佛,故合在法王喻中。次列中,經中一一皆云此《法華經》,故知歎教。今此列文略出名耳。

Next, within citing the "Bhaiṣajyarāja" [chapter], there are two: first, directly citing to verify; next, from "Citing various" onward, using the four to illustrate the teaching. The first text has two: first, citing; next, explaining. The first again has two: first, generally raising the numbers accepted and excluded; next, listing them. In the first text: in the "Bhaiṣajyarāja" chapter, the Buddha explained ten similes for Jaladharagarjita-ghoṣa-susvara-nakṣatrarāja-saṃkusumitābhijña; now only citing six is because the remaining four, when compared to the six, are still partial similes, so the four are subsumed within these six. Why? Because the Cakravartin and Indra do not equal the Brahma King, they are subsumed into the simile of the Brahma King; the five [types of] Buddha sons and bodhisattvas do not equal the Buddha, so they are subsumed into the simile of the Dharma King. Next, in the listing, the sūtra in every case says "this Lotus Sūtra", so we know it praises the teaching. Here this listed text merely sets out the names.
