妙法蓮華經玄贊 2.149

2.149

贊曰：下五十頌頌照境所見，分齊為二：初一頌半頌照境，後四十八頌半頌所見。此頌器世間，即照境也。「皆如金色」顯可重故，光雖白色表一乘為本，所照如金彰一乘可重，或示現諸佛淨土之相，令修一乘外果之因，故如金色，至下當知。下文殊頌中亦現淨土故，或豪雖白、光乃金色。

The Commentary says: The following fifty verses eulogise what was seen when illuminating the realms, divided into two sections: the first verse and a half eulogises the illumination of the realms, and the following forty-eight verses and a half eulogise what was seen. Here it eulogises the container world, which is the illumination of the realms. "All like gold in color" shows that it is worthy of veneration. Although the light is white—symbolising that the Single Vehicle is the foundation—what is illuminated being like gold reveals that the Single Vehicle is worthy of veneration. Alternatively, it manifests the features of the pure lands of the various buddhas to cause [beings] to cultivate the causes for the external fruits of the Single Vehicle, and is therefore like gold in color, as will be known below. In Mañjuśrī's verses below, pure lands are also manifested; or else, though the [ūrṇā] hair is white, its light is golden.
