金光明經文句記 5.19

5.19

Second, from "based on the substance" onward, praises the doctrine of the sūtra. Practicing based on the substance: the substance is original enlightenment, and when stirred it becomes acquired enlightenment, only then can it be called practicing based on the substance. The substance is endowed with both cause and fruit, the two adornments of the Buddha-realm; the entire substance becomes cultivation, and the two adornments are unconditioned, called non-adornment being adornment. Now it takes the two adornments of the ultimate fruit as the doctrine. From "worldly devas" onward: the sūtra says "all devas", which encompasses these three. However, there should be four; it is feared that the text has an omission. Or perhaps the heavenly kings are originally born devas, so the commentary does not bring them out. The names and meanings of these four devas come from the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra. The "Chapter on Virtue King" says: "First, worldly devas, such as various kings; second, born devas, from the Four Heavenly Kings up to the Heaven of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception; third, pure devas, meaning the four fruits [of arhatship] and pratyekabuddhas; fourth, meaning-devas, meaning the bodhisattvas of the ten abodes, because they see that all dharmas are of the meaning of emptiness." The Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra clarifies three kinds of devas: first, nominal devas, which are worldly devas; second, born devas; third, pure devas, which encompass the three vehicles.
