第七釋文中三分同前。初讚請分中十八頌，分五：初二菩薩聞法供養讚歎、次二諸天歡喜供養、次二天王眷屬供養、次十一天女歌樂歎佛功德。於中，初二總歎說益、次三歎大智證空、次一歎大悲攝物、次四歎理行無礙、次一天女靜默、下一上首請說。

Seventh, in explaining the text, the three divisions are the same as before. In the first, the section on praising and requesting, there are eighteen verses divided into five parts: first, two [verses] where the bodhisattvas, hearing the Dharma, make offerings and praise; next, two where the devas rejoice and make offerings; next, two where the deva kings and their retinues make offerings; next, eleven where the devīs sing music praising the Buddha's virtues—within this, the first two broadly praise the benefits of the teaching, the next three praise great wisdom realizing emptiness, the next one praises great compassion gathering in living beings, the next four praise the unobstructedness of principle and practice, and the next one describes the devīs falling silent; the last one is the chief leader requesting the teaching.
