釋名者,在俗皇貴,妙珍綺以飾容;迴邪入正,勝法寶而瑩體,故名妙莊嚴王。宿世因緣,故名本事。

Regarding explaining the title: In worldly status, imperial and noble, he used wonderful gems and brocades to adorn his countenance; turning from heterodoxy to enter the right, he used the superior jewel of the Dharma to lustrate his body; hence he is named King Śubhavyūha (“Wonderful Adornment”). As these are conditions from past lives, it is termed “Ancient Accounts” (pūrvayoga).
