金光明經文句記 4.3

4.3

初、讚七大相海。三十二為大、八十種好為小，一一相好皆是法界，無邊無底故稱為海。謂初句是讚第十四金光微妙，故云上色。次、一句讚第十五身光；三、一行讚二十八梵音深遠；四、一行讚小相中第七十九髮色青珠；五、一行讚二十二四十齒具足；六、一行讚二十九眼；七、一行讚二十七舌大薄覆面至髮際；八、一行讚三十一眉間白毫相。此八段中，一是小相、七是大相。

First, praising the ocean of seven major marks. The thirty-two are the major, and the eighty minor marks are the minor. Each and every mark and sign is the Dharma realm, boundless and bottomless, and is therefore called an ocean. The first phrase praises the fourteenth [mark], the exquisite and subtle golden light, hence it says 'supreme color.' Next, one phrase praises the fifteenth, the body light. Third, one line praises the twenty-eighth, the deep and resonant Brahma voice. Fourth, one line praises the seventy-ninth among the minor signs, hair color of blue jewels. Fifth, one line praises the twenty-second, possessing the full forty teeth. Sixth, one line praises the twenty-ninth, the eyes. Seventh, one line praises the twenty-seventh, the tongue being large and thin, covering the face up to the hairline. Eighth, one line praises the thirty-first, the mark of the white curl between the eyebrows. Among these eight sections, one is a minor sign and seven are major marks.
