金光明經文句記 3.347

3.347

初、釋生身相。林微尼，此云解脫處。舉手攀樹者，即摩耶夫人攀無憂樹，而太子自右脇而生也。阿夷，亦阿私陀，此云無比，仙人名也。披，開也。太子既生三日，遂裹以白㲲，王召仙人相之，於是開㲲相其形也。相相炳明者，謂三十二相皆明顯也。決定成佛者，即仙人奏王之語。謂輪王雖有三十二相，相不明了；今觀太子相相炳明，決定作佛，不為輪王也。悲不能聲者，即仙人自嗟年老，不見太子成佛，故泣也。無聲自出淚曰泣，今云悲不能聲是泣也。此是生身也者，疏雖標云父母生身，須解其意，豈後二身全無父母？今特云者，彰藏通佛住偏真也。以偏真理不具五陰，故使佛身從正習造，機緣若盡，灰滅淪空永無示現。故以父母顯其有生，機盡歸空顯其有滅。通雖幻有，亦須永無。依教分別，相狀如是。

First, explaining the marks of the birth body. "Lumbinī": this is translated as "place of liberation." "Raising her hand to grasp the tree": Lady Māyā grasped an aśoka tree, and the crown prince was born from her right flank. "Ayi," also Asita: this is translated as "incomparable," the name of a ṛṣi. "Uncovering": opening. Three days after the prince was born, he was wrapped in white cotton cloth; the king summoned the ṛṣi to read his marks, whereupon he opened the cotton cloth and read the marks of his form. "The marks are distinctly bright": the thirty-two marks are all clearly visible. "Definitely to become a Buddha": these are the words the ṛṣi addressed to the king, meaning that although a wheel-turning king possesses the thirty-two marks, his marks are not distinctly clear; now observing the prince's marks to be distinctly bright, he will definitely become a Buddha and not a wheel-turning king. "Grieving and unable to make a sound": the ṛṣi lamented his own old age, that he would not see the prince become a Buddha, and therefore wept. Shedding tears silently is called "weeping"; here saying "grieving and unable to make a sound" is weeping. "This is the birth body": although the commentary labels it "the body born of parents," one must understand its import—how could the latter two bodies be completely devoid of parents? Specifying this now clarifies that the Buddhas of the Tripiṭaka and Shared teachings abide in biased truth. Because the principle of biased truth does not contain the five aggregates, the Buddha's body is made to be produced from pure karmic residues; when the stimulus and connection are exhausted, it turns to ash, is annihilated, sinks into emptiness, and never manifests again. Therefore, by means of parents, its having birth is manifested; by the connections being exhausted and returning to emptiness, its having cessation is manifested. Although the Shared [teaching] takes it as illusory existence, it must likewise forever cease to be. Differentiating according to the teachings, the characteristics are like this.
