金光明經文句記 5.28

5.28

三、天黨護國。意同向說。黨謂徒黨，即八部也。黨，輩也。帥黨者，帥音率，導引也。「如轉輪王」下，是事釋。以輪王降四方，喻天王遮惡鬼。七寶，謂輪、象、馬、女、珠、臣、兵也。

Third, protecting the state through the heavenly hosts. The meaning is the same as what was said before. "Hosts" means followers and retinues, namely the eight classes [of beings]. "Hosts" means cohorts. As for "leading the hosts," "shuai" is pronounced "shuài," meaning to guide and lead. From "Like a wheel-turning king" onwards, this is an explanation in terms of phenomena. Using the wheel-turning king subduing the four quarters as an analogy for the heavenly king warding off evil spirits. The seven treasures are the wheel, elephant, horse, woman, jewel, minister, and general.
