金光明最勝王經疏 2.61

2.61

贊曰：為說也。分二：初四行過喻分、第五一行過算分。喻四行中，相傳兩釋。一云：四行如次顯淨我樂常四德，如次能除不信、著我、畏苦、捨心四障。一云：約佛四身以顯壽量，謂化、應、亦應亦化、非應非化，如次為喻。化身此沒彼現，故以水喻。化依應現，如水出山，故以山為喻。俱句自受用如地，為山水二依。第四喻法，以無形相故。

Commentary: This is the explanation. It is divided into two: first, the four verses transcending metaphor; fifth, the one verse transcending calculation. In the four verses of metaphor, two explanations have been traditionally transmitted. One says: the four verses sequentially reveal the four virtues of purity, self, bliss, and permanence, which sequentially can eliminate the four hindrances: disbelief, clinging to self, fear of suffering, and indifference. The other says: they reveal the lifespan in terms of the four bodies of the buddha—namely, the transformation body, the response body, the body that is both response and transformation, and the body that is neither response nor transformation—as metaphors in sequence. The transformation body vanishes here and appears there, so it is likened to water. The transformation body appears based on the response body, just as water emerges from a mountain, so it is likened to a mountain. The clause of both [response and transformation], the self-enjoyment body, is like the earth, serving as the basis for both mountain and water. The fourth likens the dharma [body], because it has no physical form.
