金光明經文句 5.12

5.12

次佛述成，文為二：先述成六方法、次述成六願欲。四王約六事。又所說少，止在現世。佛約一事而所益多，超無量世，倍述成之。從「佛告四王」下，秖弘經聽經，即是述成安身方法。上直示心不放逸，今加示羽儀出宮迎候，步步值那由他佛。方法既倍，體亦彌安。從「復得超越爾許劫難」者，述成安國方法。上止一世無憂苦，今則超爾許生死之難。從「復於來世對受輪王」者，述成安妻子方法。輪王有玉女、千子，悉無怨對，爾許劫中妻子常安也。從「亦得如是現世自在之力」者，述成上安於王領方法也。從「常得最勝七寶宮殿」者，述成上安於宮殿方法也。從「在在生處訖具足無量福聚」，述成其上攝福方法也。從「汝等四王」下，述成其六種願欲。從「四王下至不退轉」，述成上願安身。從「己為得值至畢三惡道苦」，述成上安國。從「我今已種輪王釋梵之因」，述成上願安妻子。從「已種無邊善根」下，述成上欲攝福聚。從「後宮宮宅無諸凶衰」，述成上願安宮殿。從「國土無有他方怨刺」，述成上王領第一。從「汝等四王」下，更總結成六法六願。皆令具足者，若能屈己迎候、至心聽法，即是六願六法。又迴利施天，亦即能令六願六法成就滿足也。

Next, the Buddha confirms and approves; the text has two [parts]: first, confirming the six methods; next, confirming the six wishes and desires. The four kings relied on six matters. Moreover, what they spoke was brief, confined only to the present life. The Buddha relied on one matter yet the benefits are manifold, transcending immeasurable lifetimes, redoubling his confirmation. From "The Buddha told the four kings..." onward, simply propagating the sūtra and listening to the sūtra confirms the method of securing the person. Above, it merely showed the mind not being indolent; now it additionally shows leading the retinue out of the palace to welcome and await [the teacher], meeting nayutas of Buddhas at every step. Since the method is redoubled, the substance is also even more secure. From "further being able to transcend hardships for that many kalpas" onward confirms the method of securing the state. Above, it was limited to one life being free from sorrow and suffering; now it transcends the hardships of birth and death for that many [kalpas]. From "further in future lifetimes directly receiving [the status of] a wheel-turning king" confirms the method of securing wives and children. A wheel-turning king has jade maidens and a thousand sons, none of whom are antagonistic rivals; throughout that many kalpas, wives and children are ever at peace. From "also obtaining such power of sovereignty in the present life" confirms the above method of securing the royal realm. From "constantly obtaining the most supreme palace of seven treasures" confirms the above method of securing the palaces. From "wherever one is born, up to possessing an immeasurable accumulation of blessings" confirms the above method of gathering blessings. From "you four kings" onward confirms the six kinds of wishes and desires. From "four kings... down to not retrogressing" confirms the above wish to secure the person. From "already having met... to ending the suffering of the three evil paths" confirms the above securing the state. From "I have now already planted the cause of a wheel-turning king, Śakra, and Brahmā" confirms the above wish to secure wives and children. From "having planted boundless roots of goodness" onward confirms the above wish to gather an accumulation of blessings. From "the inner palace and residences will have no misfortunes or declines" confirms the above wish to secure the palaces. From "the state will have no enemies or thorns from other regions" confirms the above royal realm being foremost. From "you four kings" onward further sums up and confirms the six methods and six wishes. Making all fully complete means that if one can humble oneself to welcome and await [the Dharma] and listen to the Dharma with the utmost mind, this is precisely the six wishes and six methods. Furthermore, dedicating the benefits to bestow upon the devas can also cause the six wishes and six methods to be fulfilled and perfected.
