三彌勒經疏 1.49

1.49

第六釋本文者，雖見光及華瑞，或有未達旨者，故略化佛唱。化佛唱者，既此文為序說故，故真佛正說為漸門。是中有千菩薩者，顯未來賢劫佛，謂彌勒等現居故。有義：是中者，則閻浮提中。今云不然，對星宿劫故。拘留孫者梵音，此云金仙，謂修因時金色仙人故。此佛時人壽四千歲，一會說法弟子四萬。今《觀佛三昧經》云「拘留孫佛身長二十五由旬，圓光三十二由旬，遍身光五十由旬」也。樓至者昔語，此云啼泣。泣因如《金剛力士經》，是訛。奘師云：「梵音胡盧支，此云父愛。謂作小子，其父偏所愛故。」今且舉初後二佛，廣說如《賢劫經》。

Sixth, in explaining the main text, although they saw the light and the auspicious signs of the flowers, there were some who had not yet grasped the purport; hence the emanated Buddhas briefly proclaimed it. Regarding the proclamation of the emanated Buddhas: since this passage serves as an introductory explanation, the true Buddha's direct teaching constitutes the gradual approach. 'Herein there are a thousand bodhisattvas' reveals the future Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa, meaning that Maitreya and the others presently reside [there]. One view holds that 'herein' refers to within Jambudvīpa. We now say this is not so, because it is in contrast to the Constellation Kalpa. 'Krakucchanda' is a Sanskrit sound, translated here as 'Golden Immortal', meaning that at the time of cultivating causes he was a golden-coloured ṛṣi. During this Buddha's time, the human lifespan was four thousand years, and his disciples at a single assembly of preaching the Dharma numbered forty thousand. Now the Sūtra on the Samādhi of Contemplating the Buddha states: 'The Buddha Krakucchanda was twenty-five yojanas tall, his halo thirty-two yojanas, and the light pervading his body fifty yojanas.' 'Rocana' (Rucika) was an older transcription, rendered here as 'Weeping'. The cause of his weeping is as told in the Vajrapāṇi Sūtra, which is an error. Master Xuanzang said: 'The Sanskrit pronunciation is Huluzhi, rendered here as 'Father's Beloved', meaning that being the youngest son, he was uniquely loved by his father.' Here, we merely cite the first and the last of the two Buddhas; the full explanation is as in the Bhadrakalpika Sūtra.
