贊曰:令譽遐振殊勝功德。忉利天主釋迦提婆因達羅者,釋迦能姓,提婆天也,因達羅帝也。天中帝主,姓釋迦,故號帝釋。名憍尸迦,如餘經中具明本緣。以崇佛法,他方菩薩、上界天等多悉聞名。踰者越也。菩薩名聲更越於彼,十方一切皆聞名故。但以翻譯之人說帝釋居於須彌,執筆者遂即錄之,為此舊經乃云「踰於須彌」。其須彌山,他化之天尚不知有,何況其餘。
Commentary: This is the superior virtue of their fine reputation reverberating far and wide. As for the lord of the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven, Śakro Devānām Indraḥ: Śākya is a capable clan, deva is heaven/deity, and indra is sovereign. Being the sovereign ruler among the heavens and of the Śākya clan, he is titled Śakra. His name is Kauśika, as is fully explained in other sūtras regarding his origin. Because he venerates the Buddhadharma, bodhisattvas of other directions and devas of the higher realms mostly hear his name. 'Surpassing' means exceeding. The fame of the bodhisattvas exceeds even his, because all throughout the ten directions hear their names. However, because the translator said that Śakra resides on Mount Sumeru, the scribe simply recorded it as such; for this reason, the older sūtra said 'surpassing Sumeru.' As for Mount Sumeru, even the devas of Paranirmitavaśavartin do not know of its existence, much less the others.
