金光明經玄義 1.8

1.8

Second, as for the specific explanation, it specifically explains the five chapters. Now I first explain the chapter on explaining the title. If one relies on the title in four fascicles, it consists of only three characters and does not have the two characters “Sovereign King” (de-wang). If one relies on the sūtra text, it has the meaning of “king of sūtras.” Whether they are stated or not stated, neither presents an obstacle. Now I explain the title in five parts: first, general and specific; second, translation; third, metaphors; fourth, explanation according to the text; fifth, explanation according to the intrinsic nature.
