金光明經文句記 1.16

1.16

Second, from "Furthermore, the faculties of the assembly" onward, the faculties of the assembly are universally benefited. As for the capacities addressed by the sūtra, their benefit may be slow or swift, and they do not necessarily all awaken and enter in the main body division; hence it is said that their fundamental natures are indeterminate. How could it be allowed that the preface division is entirely without the flavor of the Dharma, and that in the transmission the flavor of the Dharma wanes, perishes, and becomes trivial? Since that is not so, in the transmission, what harm is there in speaking of Jalavāhana's cause and Ruciraketu's effect? "Mi" means to increase. "Du" means to lead. "Li" means to encourage.
