金光明最勝王經疏 1.42

1.42

依六釋者，此最勝王經或法光明即如金光明，或法最勝即如王名，金光明最勝王，竝持業釋。不欲別解金光明及最勝王，故非相違。不欲詮金光明，故非有財釋。金光明最勝王是所詮理，經者是能詮教，即是依主。若俱是教，金光明即經，是持業釋。俱理亦然。中間差別更有多門，恐煩不述。

According to the six compound analyses (ṣaṭsamāsa): in this *Suvarṇaprabhāsottamarājasūtra*, either the light of dharma is like the golden light, or the supremacy of dharma is like the title of a king; 'Golden Light Most Victorious King' are both appositional compounds (karmadhāraya). It is not intended to explain 'Golden Light' and 'Most Victorious King' separately, so it is not a coordinative compound (dvandva). It is not intended to denote [an external possessor of] golden light, so it is not a possessive compound (bahuvrīhi). 'Golden Light Most Victorious King' is the principle that is expressed (abhiadheya), and 'sūtra' is the teaching that expresses it (abhidhāna), which is a determinative compound (tatpuruṣa). If both are teaching, 'Golden Light' is the sūtra itself, which is a karmadhāraya compound. If both are principle, it is likewise. Among them there are further distinctions in many categories, which are not set forth here for fear of prolixity.
