法華文句記 5.120

5.120

次總別中「初開三顯一」者，即初二行總頌也。「本迹者」，且約迹中論本迹耳。即法身為本、起應為迹，即此初章離為三意，能見之眼為本，第三大悲為迹，第二所見乃為諸佛垂迹之由耳。「云云」者，須廣約迹本、久近、今昔、體用等，以簡同異，具如《玄》文六重本迹及前序中已略簡竟。

Next, in the general and specific, regarding “first opening the three and revealing the one”: this refers to the first two verses of the general verse. Regarding “origin and traces”: this is provisionally discussing origin and traces within the traces. That is, the dharmakāya is the origin, and giving rise to the response is the trace. That is to say, this first section is divided into three meanings: the eye that can see is the origin, the third, great compassion, is the trace, and the second, what is seen, is merely the reason for the Buddhas to manifest traces. Regarding “and so on”: one must extensively distinguish similarities and differences in terms of trace and origin, distant and near, present and past, essence and function, etc., fully as in the sixfold origin and traces of the Profound Meaning text and as already briefly distinguished in the preceding preface.
