妙法蓮華經玄贊 10.369

10.369

贊曰：此後七頌歎德勸歸。分六：一標五觀勸願常瞻。有本作「當」非也，現常願之，非當始願。一明大智能滅災難。一明法施能除煩惱。大悲制戒如似雷震，言警勸也。《方言》戒備也。古文作「誡」。慈意普覆如妙大雲。有本作「慈音」者，此寫錯也，梵云梅呾利末那故。一無畏施，能除怖畏。一明財施能除貧苦，猶如海潮必定應時，能滅諸苦。因經起念此有五音：妙音與樂，觀音拔苦，梵音深淨，潮音應時，勝音出世。後二勸念（禮能滅苦厄也）。

The Commentary says: These final seven verses praise his virtue and encourage refuge. They are divided into six: First, indicating the five contemplations and encouraging the vow to constantly look up to him. Some texts have 'shall' [instead of 'constantly'], which is wrong; one vows it presently and constantly, not that one should only begin to vow it in the future. Second, explaining that great wisdom can extinguish disasters and perils. Third, explaining that the giving of Dharma can eliminate afflictions. Great compassion instituting precepts is like thunder, meaning warning and exhortation. The Fangyan says that jie means to take precautions; the ancient text writes it as jie (to admonish). The compassionate mind covers all like a wondrous great cloud. Some texts have 'compassionate sound', which is a scribal error, because the Sanskrit is maitrī-manas. Fourth, the giving of fearlessness, which can remove terror. Fifth, explaining that the giving of material goods can remove poverty and suffering; just like the ocean tide, it unfailingly accords with the proper time and can extinguish all suffering. Giving rise to mindfulness according to the sūtra, here there are five sounds: the wondrous sound bestows joy; the sound of Avalokiteśvara delivers from suffering; the brahma-sound is deep and pure; the tide-sound accords with the proper time; the superior sound transcends the world. The last two encourage mindfulness (and bowing can extinguish suffering and distress).
