法華文句記 6.8

6.8

正授記中，行因等十經文各二，時節中有世、有數；行因中有供佛、修行；得果中有通號、別號；國淨中有國名、國淨；說法中有三乘、一乘，經文雖無一乘之言，既酬願說三說一為正，旁正兼具；劫名中有標、有解；眾數中有人、有行；壽量中有佛壽、人壽，單論成佛後壽，故除王子；補處中有依、有正；法住中有正、有像。於圓淨中先立名，「其土」下相也。無高下曰平、不偏曰正。「安隱」下土用，「瑠璃」下重明勝相。說法中準今釋迦故云「亦以」，「舍利」下明說三意，土淨唯一、酬願說三，即施即廢。

In the direct conferral of prophecy, the ten items such as practicing causes each have two aspects in the sūtra text: in the time period, there are the era and the number; in practicing causes, there are making offerings to buddhas and cultivating practices; in attaining the fruit, there are the universal title and the specific title; in the purity of the land, there are the land's name and the land's purity; in preaching the Dharma, there are the three vehicles and the one vehicle—though the sūtra text has no words mentioning the one vehicle, since preaching the three is in fulfillment of a vow, preaching the one is primary, possessing both secondary and primary; in the name of the kalpa, there are the designation and the explanation; in the size of the assembly, there are the people and their practices; in the life span, there are the buddha's life span and the people's life span—discussing solely the life span after buddhahood, the prince is therefore excluded; in the successor [to buddhahood], there are the environmental and the primary; in the duration of the Dharma, there are the true [dharma] and the semblance [dharma]. In the perfect purity, it first establishes the name; from "that land" onward describes its appearance. Having no high or low is called "flat"; not tilted is called "level." From "peaceful and secure" onward is the land's function; from "lapis lazuli" onward re-illuminates its superior appearance. In preaching the Dharma, conforming to the present Śākyamuni it says "also by means of"; from "Śāri[putra]" onward clarifies the intention of preaching the three: the land's purity is solely one, and preaching the three is in fulfillment of a vow, being applied and immediately abandoned.
