「爾時藥王」下,第二、明五人說呪。藥王、勇施二是菩薩,次兩是天,後一是鬼神也。藥王說呪有五:一者、請說;二者、正說;三者、敘說呪之人,即是六十二億恒沙佛說;四、明呪力用;第五、釋迦稱嘆也。案爾者呪不可翻,如前說,但讀誦之人聞之茫然不解,遂都不留心,今依《正法華經》髣髴翻之,多是明實相祕密法。

From "At that time Bhaiṣajyarāja" downward, the second part explains the five persons speaking incantations. Bhaiṣajyarāja and Pradānaśūra are two bodhisattvas; the next two are devas; the last is a spirit-ghost. Bhaiṣajyarāja's speaking of the incantation has five parts: first, requesting to speak; second, speaking the incantation proper; third, recounting the persons who spoke the incantation, namely, that sixty-two koṭis of Gaṅgā-sands Buddhas spoke it; fourth, explaining the power and function of the incantation; fifth, Śākyamuni praising it. In examining it, incantations cannot be translated, as explained before; however, those who read and recite them hear them with perplexity without understanding, and thus pay no heed at all. Now, relying on the Zheng fahua jing, they are roughly translated; most clarify the esoteric dharma of the real mark.
