說無垢稱經疏 6.602

6.602

贊曰：下校量故勝。有三：初校量為問、次天帝為答、後如來重成。校量有三：初現在校量、次滅後校量、後正以為問。此初有三：初喻佛多少、次時節虔恭、後四事供養。西方人庶多蒔甘蔗及竹葦麻稻、山林者，其木勁直，堅可擔，山生多稠密。如深山中，自作木林，故以為喻。如來滿果，稠滿亦然；經劫或餘：一身行恭敬、二意行尊重、三語行讚歎、四三業行承事無所虧違。供具有三：一飲食、二臥具、三湯藥。所居唯一，謂房舍。以此上妙四事供養，能生安樂具，故名安樂供具所居。

Commentary: Below, it is supreme by comparative evaluation. There are three parts: first, setting up the question through comparative evaluation; next, the Lord of the Gods gives the answer; finally, the Tathāgata reiterates and confirms. In the comparative evaluation there are three parts: first, comparative evaluation during the present; next, comparative evaluation after the parinirvāṇa; finally, directly posing the question. In this first part there are three: first, a simile for the number of Buddhas; next, devotion over a period of time; finally, the offerings of the four requisites. The people of the western regions mostly plant sugarcane, bamboo, reeds, hemp, and rice; as for mountain forests, their wood is stiff, straight, and strong enough to bear loads, and what grows on mountains is mostly dense. Just as deep in the mountains a forest of trees naturally forms, so it is taken as a simile. The Tathāgatas' fulfillment of the fruit is dense and full in the same way. Passing through kalpas or more: first, practicing reverence through bodily action; second, practicing respect through mental action; third, practicing praise through verbal action; fourth, practicing service through the three karmas without any deficiency or violation. There are three kinds of implements of offering: first, food and drink; second, bedding; third, medicine. The dwelling is singular, namely, rooms and houses. Because these superior and sublime offerings of the four requisites can produce requisites of comfort, they are called 'comfortable implements of offering and dwellings'.
