觀彌勒上生兜率天經贊 2.65

2.65

贊曰：第三大段明願遂中大神作座。於中有十，此文有二：一、座量高廣。清淨法界內含四德，化身之座高四由旬。二、金寶莊嚴，三業智行所嚴飾故。言七寶者，三文不同。《無量壽經》云「金、銀、瑠璃、頗梨、珊瑚、馬腦、車渠」，《恒水經》云「金、銀、珊瑚、真珠、車渠、明月珠、摩尼珠」，《佛地論》云「一金、二銀、三吠瑠璃、四頗胝迦、五牟娑珞揚婆（當車渠也）、六遏濕摩揚婆（當馬腦也）、七赤真珠」。雖有帝青大青、石藏杵藏，非常所重，故多不說。三文隨方愛樂差別，不可釋其不同所以。

The commentary says: The third major section explaining the fulfillment of vows concerns the great deity creating the throne. Here there are ten points; in this passage there are two: First, the height and breadth of the throne. The pure dharmadhātu inwardly contains the four virtues; the throne of the nirmāṇakāya is four yojanas high. Second, its adornment with gold and jewels, because it is adorned by the wisdom practices of the three karmas. Regarding the 'seven treasures,' the three texts differ. The *Sūtra on Immeasurable Life* says: 'gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, coral, agate, and musāragalva.' The *Gaṅgā River Sūtra* says: 'gold, silver, coral, pearl, musāragalva, bright-moon pearl, and maṇi jewel.' The *Buddhabhūmi-śāstra* says: '1. gold, 2. silver, 3. vaiḍūrya, 4. sphaṭika, 5. musāragalva (equivalent to chequ), 6. aśmagarbha (equivalent to manao), 7. red pearl.' Although there are indranīla, mahānīla, stone-matrix, and vajra-matrix, they are not commonly treasured, and hence are mostly not mentioned. The three texts correspond to the differing preferences of various regions; the reasons for their differences need not be explained.
