妙法蓮華經玄贊 7.325

7.325

贊曰：下品第二段標當授記，為第三周說法之由。中有二：初一頌半標當記，後一頌許當說。此初也。

The Eulogy says: The second section of the chapter below indicates that prophecies will be conferred in the future, providing the reason for the third cycle of teaching the Dharma. Within this are two parts: the first verse and a half indicates the prophecies to come, and the subsequent verse promises that they will be expounded. This is the first.
