6.263

初中五句：一乘王前言，勸王慚愧；二「諸佛世尊常說」已下引佛昔言，明慚與愧能救眾生，故非叵治，先舉後列；三從「慚者自不作」下辯慚愧相，三番辯之；四「無慚愧」下舉失顯得；五「善哉」明王，「非重」下結歎世王能具慚愧。

In the first [point], there are five lines: first, taking occasion of the king's previous words, he urges the king to have shame and remorse; second, from "The Buddhas, the World-Honoured Ones, constantly say" onward, he cites the Buddha's past words to explain that shame and remorse can save sentient beings, so that he is not incurable, first presenting [the topic] and then enumerating it; third, from "One who has shame does not create [evil] oneself" onward, he distinguishes the characteristics of shame and remorse, distinguishing them in three turns; fourth, from "Those without shame and remorse" onward, he presents the disadvantages to reveal the advantages; fifth, "Splendid" commends the king, and from "not grave" onward, it concludes by praising King Ajātaśatru for being able to possess shame and remorse.
