金光明經文句記 5.85

5.85

二、「依」下，以結文示。此結歎文，凡舉三喻，謂月、焰、化。此三事義，各合具三。如月一喻，必上依空、必下現水，此乃應身圓具三身。文舉如焰，焰必依日、日必依空，此乃報身圓具三身。文舉如化，化必有術名為化法、術必在人即是化主、其變化物名為化事，此乃法身圓具三身。

Second, from "Relying on..." onward, demonstrating by means of the concluding text. This concluding passage of praise raises three metaphors altogether: the moon, the flame, and the illusion. Each of these three matters and their meanings should possess the three. As with the single metaphor of the moon: it must above rely on empty space and below manifest in water; this is the response body perfectly possessing the three bodies. The text brings up being like a flame: a flame must rely on the sun, and the sun must rely on empty space; this is the reward body perfectly possessing the three bodies. The text brings up being like an illusion: an illusion must have an art, termed the illusory Dharma; the art must reside in a person, who is the master of illusion; and the transformed object is termed the illusory event; this is the Dharma body perfectly possessing the three bodies.
