法華義疏 2.148

2.148

就文凡有五十四偈，開為二別，前有四偈，合頌長行三瑞并及覩瑞；次有五十偈，頌光瑞及以覩瑞。所以開為二頌者，初三現瑞於此土，次一現瑞於他方，故開為二頌。

Regarding the text, there are fifty-four verses in total, divided into two sections. First, there are four verses that collectively recapitulate the three auspicious signs and the sighting of the signs in the prose; next, there are fifty verses that recapitulate the auspicious sign of the light and the sighting of the signs. The reason they are divided into two sections of verses is that the first three present auspicious signs in this land, while the next one presents auspicious signs in other lands; hence they are divided into two sections of verses.
