2.79

In explaining 'Bhaiṣajyarāja' (Medicine King): among the three conditions, according to the latter, the king of physicians corresponds to 'medicine'; though the former two differ, both during the Buddha's lifetime and after his extinction they establish practice and generate good. 'Fire purification' takes its name from burning the body; in the text it provisionally uses worldly curing to symbolize world-transcending curing (etc.). 'Lacking seven bodhisattvas'—the sūtra has not yet been verified.
