法華文句記 2.111

2.111

釋說法瑞中復更分經為四：初列所說法體，次列體上之名，三明菩薩所依，四明佛之所護。初文者，先略引經釋，次「今將」下以「十妙捒經」等者，且將迹妙十中五來。「捒」字，色喻反，謂莊捒也。既引彼經以此莊之，令成今妙，以彼善戒但從自行因果，故無餘五，法大境也。通是教法，別以十二部中毘佛略部，是方等理。心、解，智也。淨、嚴，行也。淨應具七，即始終行也。時，位也，亦始終位也。具足是三法妙也。由因有果能豈無所，故但有前五必兼後五，況復且以因果名同、義理猶別，兼獨開等思之可知（云云）。況復三祇義涉三藏，數有大小故使之然。

In explaining the omen of preaching the Dharma, the sūtra is further divided into four: first, listing the essence of the Dharma that was preached; next, listing the names upon the essence; third, clarifying that on which the bodhisattvas rely; fourth, clarifying that which the buddhas protect. As for the first text, first it briefly cites the sūtra to explain; next, from "Now taking" downward, "sifting the sūtra with the ten subtleties," and so forth, tentatively brings forward five of the ten trace subtleties. The character *shou* (捒) has the fanqie pronunciation *se* and *yu*, meaning to trim and adorn. Having cited that sūtra, one adorns it with these to make it the present subtlety; because those *Good Precepts* merely proceed from the causes and results of one's own practice, they lack the remaining five. "Dharma" is the greatness of the objective realm. Generically it is the teaching-dharma; specifically it refers to the *vaipulya* among the twelve divisions, which is the principle of the Correct and Equal. "Mind" and "understanding" are wisdom. "Purity" and "adornment" are practice. Purity should possess the seven [purities], which are the practice from beginning to end. "Time" is the stage, and also the stage from beginning to end. "Endowment" is the subtlety of the three dharmas. Because of cause there is result; how could the capable lack an object? Therefore merely having the first five necessarily includes the latter five, how much more so when cause and effect are tentatively identical in name yet still different in meaning and principle, and combining with exclusive opening and so forth can be known upon reflection (and so on). How much more so when the three asamkhyeyas have meaning that pertains to the Tripiṭaka, and the calculations have great and small, which makes it so.
