法華義疏 3.176

3.176

「如是大果報」下，第二、頌上止言加歎二智。長行前標止言、次釋止言；今但頌釋止言。長行釋止言為二：前明眾生不解，次辨唯佛解；今還頌此二。有十三偈半，開為四章：初一行偈，頌唯佛能解章門；次一偈半，頌眾生不解章門；三有九行半，釋眾生不解章門；次一行半，釋唯佛能解章門。長行前明眾生不解，後明唯佛能解。今偈欲接前偈文，故前明唯佛能解。上半標所解之法，下半出能解之人也。「如是大果報」者，頌十事中果報二句也。性相頌因中二句也。果中有法報二身，因中有外相內性也。

From “Such great fruit and retribution” onwards, secondly, it versifies the praise added to the two wisdoms above by stopping speech. The prose previously marked the stopping of speech and next explained the stopping of speech; now it only versifies the explanation of stopping speech. In the prose, explaining the stopping of speech had two parts: first, clarifying that sentient beings do not understand; second, discerning that only buddhas understand. Now it also versifies these two. There are thirteen and a half verses, opened into four sections: first, one verse versifies the topical section of only buddhas being able to understand; next, one and a half verses versify the topical section of sentient beings not understanding; third, nine and a half verses explain the topical section of sentient beings not understanding; next, one and a half verses explain the topical section of only buddhas being able to understand. In the prose, it first clarified that sentient beings do not understand, and later clarified that only buddhas understand. Now the verse intends to connect with the preceding verse text, so it first clarifies that only buddhas can understand. The upper half marks the Dharma understood, and the lower half presents the persons capable of understanding. “Such great fruit and retribution” versifies the two phrases of fruit and retribution among the ten items. Nature and marks versify the two phrases in the cause. In the fruit there are the two bodies of dharma and retribution; in the cause there are external marks and internal nature.
