9.52

五、時眾得益。六、淨名述成，二：初、分科。二、隨釋，二：初、述魔不能壞。二、明住不思議菩薩能成就行人，三：初、法。「如法華至所成」者，彼經云「由提婆達多善知識故，令我具足六波羅蜜，乃至成等正覺廣度眾生。」故知世世惱害令行堅固，法華發迹通名善知識。非但指為阿私仙時也，故云恒為調達所成。經云「珂貝」者，珂，螺屬，潔白如雪，可以嬰馬膺也。二、譬。經云「龍象」者，即名象為龍，猶此方云龍馬也。〈周官〉曰「馬八尺以上為龍，七尺以上為騋，六尺以上為馬。」肇師云「象之上者名龍象也。」若依《大論》釋歎德文，龍象乃是二類，龍是水中之大，象是陸行之大。故知二釋俱通。「蹴蹋」，上，子六反，謂以足逆蹋之曰蹴也。下，徒盍反，踐也。三、合。

5. The assembly at that time obtaining benefit. 6. Jingming's confirmation, which has two [parts]: first, dividing the sections; second, explaining following the text, which has two [parts]: first, confirming that Māra cannot destroy [it]; second, clarifying that a bodhisattva who abides in the inconceivable can bring practitioners to accomplishment, which has three [parts]: first, the Dharma. 'As the Lotus Sūtra says, down to "accomplished by"': that sūtra says, 'Owing to the good friend Devadatta, he caused me to be complete in the six pāramitās, down to realizing unexcelled complete enlightenment and broadly delivering sentient beings.' Thus we know that tormenting [the Buddha] life after life to make his practice firm, and manifesting traces in the Lotus Sūtra, are both generally called being a good friend. It does not only refer to the time when he was the seer Asita; therefore it says 'always accomplished by Devadatta'. Where the sūtra says 'mother-of-pearl shells': ke is a type of spiral shell, as pure and white as snow, which can adorn a horse's breast. Second, the simile. Where the sūtra says 'dragon-elephant': this names an elephant a dragon, just as in this land one speaks of a 'dragon-horse'. The 'Offices of Zhou' states, 'A horse of eight feet or more is a dragon; seven feet or more is a lai; six feet or more is a horse.' Master Zhao says, 'The superior among elephants are called dragon-elephants.' If one relies on the Dazhidulun's explanation of the text praising virtues, dragon and elephant are two categories: the dragon is the greatest among aquatic creatures, and the elephant is the greatest among land creatures. Thus we know both explanations are admissible. 'Cuji': the upper character has the fǎnqiē zǐ and liù, meaning to kick backwards with the foot is cu; the lower character has the fǎnqiē tú and hé, meaning to trample. Third, the application.
