法華義疏 10.64

10.64

次偈為二：初四行，頌行體；次十行半，頌歎教。不頌行果，攝入後大段頌之。頌歎教中，九行頌譬，一行半頌雙結，略不頌雙歎。上雙譬雙合，今總為一譬一合。三行頌初譬，一行頌後譬，三行半頌合初譬，一行半頌合後譬。「此經為尊」下一行半，頌上雙結。半行，頌結歎教妙理深；一行，頌結諸佛守護。

Next, the verses are divided into two: the first four lines versify the essence of the practice; the next ten and a half lines versify the praise of the teaching. The fruit of practice is not versified [here], but is subsumed into the later major section to be versified. In versifying the praise of the teaching, nine lines versify the parables, and one and a half lines versify the joint conclusion, omitting a versification of the joint praise. Above, there were two parables and two applications; now they are combined into one parable and one application. Three lines versify the first parable, one line versifies the second parable, three and a half lines apply the first parable, and one and a half lines apply the second parable. The one and a half lines from "This sūtra is supreme..." onwards versify the joint conclusion above. Half a line versifies the concluding praise that the teaching is marvelous and the principle is profound; one line versifies the conclusion that all buddhas guard and protect it.
