法華文句記 1.113

1.113

「空王」等者，於佛亦是迹中本迹，若於阿難或未是實本，主尚晦迹、弟子未彰，故亦不云空王劫數。言「云云」者，應具對上因緣等四以明我觀，亦應須寄因緣等四辨次不次，此文已當約教觀心，心境相對因緣觀也。真妙望餘，本迹觀也。以心觀心，觀心觀也。

Regarding 'King of Emptiness', etc.: for the Buddha, this is also origin and traces within the traces. For Ānanda, it may not yet be the real origin; when the master has still concealed his traces, the disciple's [origin] is not yet manifested; hence the kalpa-numbers of the King of Emptiness are also not stated. As for 'and so on': one should fully correspond to the above four—such as conditioning—to clarify the contemplation of the self; one should also rely on the four, such as conditioning, to distinguish the sequential and non-sequential. This text already corresponds to the contemplation of the mind according to the teachings: the mutual relation between mind and objects is the contemplation of conditioning; the true and wondrous compared to the rest is the contemplation of origin and traces; using mind to contemplate mind is the contemplation of the mind itself.
