法華義疏 10.63

10.63

「文殊師利如轉輪王」下，第二、為今教作譬。大功者，謂大障將傾、大機欲動則為說一乘。《法華論》云「實有功德人聞說大乘而取非大乘，如是倒取，為對治故說王頂解珠與之。十種無上中云，欲示現說無上，故明解髻中明珠譬」。「文殊」下，第三、雙結。為二：初、結教妙理深；次、「文殊」下，結諸佛守護。

From "Mañjuśrī, like a wheel-turning sage king..." onwards is the second [section]: providing a parable for the present teaching. "Great merit" means that when great hindrances are about to collapse and the capacity for the great is about to be stirred, then the ekayāna is expounded for them. The Fahua lun says: "When people possessing real merits hear the Mahāyāna expounded, yet grasp at what is not the Mahāyāna, to counteract such inverted grasping, it is expounded that the king unties the pearl from his topknot and gives it to them. In the Ten Kinds of Unsurpassedness, it says that in order to demonstrate the unsurpassable expounding, the parable of loosening the bright pearl from the topknot is explained." From "Mañjuśrī..." onwards is the third [section]: the joint conclusion. It has two parts: first, concluding that the teaching is marvelous and the principle is profound; next, from "Mañjuśrī..." onwards, concluding that all buddhas guard and protect it.
