8.47

The Eulogy says: The third section below shows the sons successively transmitting the lamp. The prose has five parts, and here there are four: first, two verses describe leaving home and entreating; next, two and a half verses describe the Buddha granting permission and properly expounding; next, four verses describe the sons transmitting the lamp; and finally, one verse describes those transformed constantly gaining benefit. This is the first. Only the fourth part, the Buddha arising to praise them, is absent. 'Guards and retinue' refers to ministers and assistants.
