金光明經文句 6.7

6.7

此轉輪王集眾善法，如海導師。善海無涯，六度則攝。六度又廣，二度略攝，謂檀與智。提如意殊捨四大地，滿中珍寶以用布施，即集檀行也。合掌而立，請寶冥尊者宣揚顯說是金光明，即集智行也。檀智既然，餘法亦爾。從行得名，故稱〈善集品〉也。此六度不同，是世界悉檀集善也；修於五度，是為人集善也；修於智度，是對治集善也；皆波羅蜜，是第一義集善也。從此四集得名，故言〈善集品〉。此品是第二人王弘經。上明世間正見感動天地，此明出世正見感動賢聖（云云）。文為二：初對告地神、二以偈說。偈有六十四行半，分為二：初四行通，明因地行檀；次六十行半別，名善集施財施法。別為六：一六行半明事本、二十一行半明聖王請法、三十九行半明尊者宣揚、四十行半明輪王行施、五二行結會古今、六十行半引因果以證以勸，悉如文。就此品論金光明者，善集波羅蜜，金也；集般若，光也；集五度，明也。就寶冥論者，在一窟中，金也；面如滿月，光也；讀誦如是經，明也。就二人作者，在窟中，金也；許為王說，光也；王提如意珠雨四天下珍寶，明也。

This wheel-turning king amassed all good dharmas, like a guide across the ocean. The ocean of good is boundless, yet the six pāramitās subsume it. The six pāramitās are further extensive, but two pāramitās concisely subsume them: namely, dāna (giving) and jñāna (wisdom). Holding the wish-fulfilling jewel, he renounced the four great continents, filling them with rare treasures to use for giving—this is accumulating the practice of dāna. Standing with palms joined, he requested the Venerable Baoming to proclaim and expound this Suvarṇaprabhāsa—this is accumulating the practice of wisdom. Since dāna and wisdom are thus, the remaining dharmas are also the same. Taking its name from practice, it is therefore called the 'Chapter on the Good Accumulation'. The differences among these six pāramitās are the worldly siddhānta's accumulating good; cultivating the five pāramitās is the individual adaptation's accumulating good; cultivating the pāramitā of wisdom is the counteractive accumulating of good; all being pāramitās is the ultimate truth's accumulating good. Taking its name from these four accumulations, it is therefore called the 'Chapter on the Good Accumulation'. This chapter is the second instance of a human king propagating the sūtra. Above, worldly right view moved heaven and earth; here, supramundane right view moves the worthy and holy (and so forth). The text has two parts: first, addressing the Earth Spirit; second, speaking in verse. The verses have sixty-four and a half lines, divided into two: the first four lines are general, clarifying the practice of dāna on the causal ground; the next sixty and a half lines are specific, titled 'the good accumulation of giving wealth and giving Dharma'. The specific has six parts: 1. six and a half lines clarify the origin of the event; 2. eleven and a half lines clarify the holy king requesting the Dharma; 3. nineteen and a half lines clarify the Venerable One proclaiming it; 4. ten and a half lines clarify the wheel-turning king practicing giving; 5. two lines unite past and present; 6. ten and a half lines cite causes and effects as proof and encouragement—all as stated in the text. Discussing the Suvarṇaprabhāsa in terms of this chapter: the pāramitā of good accumulation is gold; accumulating prajñā is light; accumulating the five pāramitās is radiance. Discussing it in terms of Baoming: being inside a cave is gold; his face like the full moon is light; reciting such a sūtra is radiance. Discussing it in terms of the two persons' actions: being in the cave is gold; agreeing to speak for the king is light; the king holding the wish-fulfilling jewel and raining down rare treasures over the four continents is radiance.
