1.78

贊曰:此明請記。坐中證悟,遂起整衣,申虔敬之儀、展請記之軌。從坐起者,表有所得,從生死起。言衣服者,表四儀圓備、七支無缺,戒德滿故。叉手合掌者,表心與境冥、理與神會,空智有智照冥、真俗智德圓也。住立佛前者,表結使俱已斷德圓備。或住而不動,表證三昧心不動搖,定德成也。或示將有往生相故,所以起立。此意總顯已出生死,三學久成,唯希為記當生當覺。唯此軌儀唯有身業,事不虛設故各有表,威儀進止皆法輪故。

The Commentary says: This explains requesting the prediction. Having realized and awakened while seated, he then arose and straightened his robes, expressing the deportment of devout reverence and unfolding the protocol of requesting a prediction. 'Arising from his seat' represents having an attainment, arising from birth-and-death. 'Robes' represents the four deportments being complete and the seven branches without defect, because the virtue of morality is perfected. 'Joining palms with fingers interlinked' represents the mind merging with the object, principle meeting with the spirit, the wisdom of emptiness and the wisdom of existence illuminating obscurity, and the virtues of ultimate and conventional wisdom being perfected. 'Standing before the Buddha' represents that defilements and fetters are both eliminated, and the virtue of severance is complete. Or, standing without moving represents realizing samādhi with a mind unshaken, the virtue of concentration being accomplished. Or, it indicates that he will have the marks of rebirth; therefore he arose and stood. The general meaning of this manifests that he has already transcended birth-and-death, the three trainings long accomplished, hoping only for a prediction of future birth and future enlightenment. This protocol consists only of bodily karma; since matters are not established in vain, each has its representation, for all deportment, advancing and halting, are wheels of the Dharma.
