三彌勒經疏 1.198

1.198

第三解本文者，《大成佛經》云「佛住摩伽他國波沙山中夏安居，因舍利弗請而說」。今此經中略而不說，然猶有三分：一鶖子發請分、二來酬答分、三大眾奉行分。初中二：初讚請德、後述請辭。是初也。

Third, interpreting the main text: The *Great Sūtra on the Attainment of Buddhahood* states, "The Buddha was dwelling in the country of Magadha on Mount Poṣadha for the summer retreat, and spoke it on the request of Śāriputra." Now, this sūtra abbreviates and does not mention this; nevertheless, it still has three divisions: first, the division of Śāriputra initiating the request; second, the division of the Tathāgata's response; third, the division of the great assembly practicing it. Within the first there are two: first, praising the requester's virtue; second, recounting the words of the request. This is the first.
