金光明經文句記 6.133

6.133

三、「其音」下二行，重讚梵音一大相也，亦是兼讚言音深遠小相海也。梵聲者，譬佛音深遠故。師子吼聲者，譬佛音無畏也。大雷震聲者，譬佛音破迷也。云六種聲者，諸文皆云八音，一極好、二柔軟、三和適、四尊慧、五不女、六不誤、七深遠、八不竭。譯人增減，不須和會。亦可先舉妙如梵聲者，即八音中深遠音也。師子吼、大雷震，即舉不女音也。以佛住首楞嚴定，常有世雄之德，久離雌耎之心，故所出音聲能令一切聞者敬畏，天魔外道莫不歸伏也。上既已列二種聲，下但云六種聲者，即舉迦陵頻伽、孔雀等六種聲也，以迦陵頻伽翻極好聲也。

Third, the two lines from "Its sound" praise again the major mark of the Brahmā sound; this is also concurrently praising the sea of minor marks that is the deep and far-reaching sound of his speech. The "Brahmā voice" is an analogy for the Buddha's voice being deep and far-reaching. The "lion's roar" is an analogy for the Buddha's voice being fearless. The "sound of great thunder" is an analogy for the Buddha's voice shattering delusion. When it speaks of the "six kinds of sounds," various texts all speak of the eight sounds: first, extremely fine; second, soft and gentle; third, harmonious and fitting; fourth, noble and wise; fifth, non-feminine; sixth, without error; seventh, deep and far-reaching; eighth, inexhaustible. Translators have added and subtracted; there is no need to harmonize them. It may also be that first citing "wondrous as the Brahmā sound" corresponds to the deep and far-reaching sound among the eight sounds. The lion's roar and great thunder correspond to the non-feminine sound. Because the Buddha abides in the Śūraṅgama samādhi, he constantly possesses the virtue of a hero of the world and has long been free from a timid and feeble mind; therefore, the sounds he emits are able to cause all hearers to revere and stand in awe, with heavenly Māras and outsiders none failing to submit. Having already listed two kinds of sounds above, below it merely says "six kinds of sounds," which then refers to the six kinds of sounds such as the kalaviṅka, peacock, and so on, for kalaviṅka translates as "sound of extreme fineness."
