妙法蓮華經玄贊 7.57

7.57

贊曰：下有八頌頌第三，但為菩薩說、不正為我說，故不悕。中分六：初一頌佛勅，次一頌半我依佛教，次一頌他依我言，次一頌佛授他記，次一頌半正為菩薩、不為我說，後二頌法喻雙結。此初也。佛三業加，密勅令說般若等經。

Commentary: Below are eight verses summarizing the third: only expounding for the bodhisattvas and not expounding directly for us, hence we did not aspire. Within this there are six parts: first, one verse on the Buddha's instruction; next, one and a half verses on our complying with the Buddha's teaching; next, one verse on others complying with our words; next, one verse on the Buddha conferring prophecies upon others; next, one and a half verses on expounding directly for the bodhisattvas and not for us; finally, two verses jointly concluding the doctrine and the parable. This is the first. Empowered by the Buddha's three karmas, we were secretly commanded to expound sūtras such as the Prajñā[pāramitā].
