贊曰:第三明樂法諸天眾。梵云釋迦提婆因達羅,釋迦姓也,此釋翻為能,提婆者天也,因達羅帝也,云釋提桓因、言天帝釋,俱訛倒也。此在妙高山頂而住三十三天之帝王,過去字憍尸迦,此云繭兒,名阿摩竭陀,此云無毒害,即摩竭陀國過去帝釋修因之處,用國為名,修行因緣如《宗輪疏》。如帝釋等等者,餘諸天大眾俱至祇薗也。上來三眾不同,總是第五所被機訖。五段不同,總是序分已竟(已下正宗分也)。

The Commentary says: Third is clarifying the assembly of devas who delight in the Dharma. In Sanskrit, *Śakro Devānām Indraḥ*. Śākya is a clan name, rendered here as "capable"; *deva* is "heaven" or "god"; *indra* is "sovereign." Calling him "Shitihuanyin" or "Tiandishi" are both corruptions and inversions. He abides on the summit of Mount Sumeru as the sovereign of the Thirty-Three Heavens. In the past his courtesy name was Kauśika, rendered here as "Cocoon Child," and his name was Magadha, rendered here as "Free from Malice," which is the place in Magadha where Indra cultivated causes in the past, taking the country's name as his own; his causes and conditions of cultivation are as in the *Commentary on the Samayabhedoparacanacakra*. "Including Indra and others" means the remaining multitudes of all the devas came together to the Jeta Grove. The above three differing assemblies completely conclude the fifth item: those who are the recipients of the teaching. The five distinct sections completely finish the introductory section. (Below is the main body of the sūtra).
