贊曰：歎德。俱胝者，準《俱舍論》十億為一俱胝。準《華嚴經．心王菩薩問僧祇品》萬萬為億，億億為一𤘽梨，𤘽梨者是俱胝，音少訛耳。無量者，是數名。以無量數數俱胝那庾多，準十千為一萬，百千當十萬，即無量箇俱胝那庾多。十萬諸佛，當《俱舍論》十萬為一億，《大智度論》以千萬為億，《華嚴經》以萬萬為億。此數有三，謂小、中、大。《俱舍》、《智論》、《華嚴》如次依小中大數，今此不定。承事，即親近。供養，修十供養。善根，即福智。殖，謂種也。

> Commentary: Praising his virtues. 'Koṭi': according to the Abhidharmakośa-śāstra, ten million (shiyi) is one koṭi. According to the Avataṃsaka-sūtra's chapter 'The Bodhisattva Cittarāja Inquires about the Asaṃkhyeyas', ten thousand ten thousands make an 'yi', and an 'yi' times 'yi' makes one 'juli'; 'juli' is koṭi, the sound being slightly corrupted. 'Immeasurable' is a number name. With immeasurable numbers counting koṭis and nayutas: counting ten thousands as one wan, a hundred thousands corresponds to ten wan, which means an immeasurable number of koṭis of nayutas. One hundred thousand Buddhas: according to the Abhidharmakośa-śāstra, one hundred thousand is one yi; the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa takes ten million as an yi; the Avataṃsaka-sūtra takes ten thousand ten thousands as an yi. These numbers are of three kinds: small, medium, and large. The Kośa, Upadeśa, and Avataṃsaka follow the small, medium, and large counts respectively; here it is not fixed. 'Served' means drew near to. 'Made offerings' means practiced the ten kinds of offerings. 'Roots of goodness' means merit and wisdom. 'Planted' means sowed.
