說無垢稱經疏 2.106

2.106

贊曰：此顯尊勝。踞者坐也。如來處於無畏之座，名師子座。座為師子之形，顯居上者得無畏故。座以眾寶帝青大青石藏杵藏末尼珠等之所嚴飾，名為勝藏，內身金色、外放神光，顯此燒耀威德之光，映蔽一切諸來大眾，若秋間之朗月光映眾星、譬春日之洪雷聲胦群響，皆由內德超絕所以外形孤秀者也。

Commentary: This manifests the venerable supremacy. 'To sit upon' means to be seated. The Tathāgata rests upon the seat of fearlessness, which is called the lion seat. The seat takes the shape of a lion to manifest that the one who sits upon it has attained fearlessness. The seat is adorned with various gems—indranīla, mahānīla, aśmagarbha, vajragarbha, maṇi jewels, and so forth—and is called the 'supreme storehouse.' His inner body is golden, and outwardly he emits spiritual radiance, manifesting this burning and dazzling light of majesty and virtue, which eclipses all the great assemblies that had come, like the bright moon in autumn outshining the multitude of stars, or like the great thunder on a spring day drowning out all other sounds; this is all because inner virtue is transcendent and supreme, and hence the outer form is uniquely magnificent.
