妙法蓮華經玄贊 4.248

4.248

Eulogy: The following two verses concern the thought of following expedient induction, divided into two parts: the first verse concerns reverently praising upon hearing it; the latter verse concerns thinking to follow their practice. This is the first. Some editions read: "Chanted namo to all buddhas"; reading "joyfully chanted" should be taken as standard. The correct pronunciation is *namo* or *namaḥ*, which here means reverent homage. If one says *vande* or *vandana*, this means paying obeisance; the old term *henan* was a corrupt abbreviation.
