金光明最勝王經疏 3.249

3.249

贊曰：增長善根。此未發心求菩提者令發心求，即令種善根。已發心求令增，勝解行位初僧祇，令長第二僧祇，令成就第三僧祇。然上二類，但言聞經者得六波羅蜜令他人行，此互影顯，自他俱然。

Commentary: Increasing good roots. Those who have not yet generated the aspiration to seek bodhi are caused to generate the aspiration to seek it, which means causing them to plant good roots. Those who have already generated the aspiration to seek it are caused to increase: in the stage of practicing with resolute conviction, the first asaṃkhyeya kalpa; caused to grow in the second asaṃkhyeya kalpa; and caused to mature in the third asaṃkhyeya kalpa. However, regarding the two categories above, although it only says that those who hear the sūtra obtain the six pāramitās and cause others to practice, here they implicitly reveal each other: it applies to both oneself and others.
