金光明最勝王經疏 3.253

3.253

贊曰：品第四大段領解持學。文分為四：一虔恭領解、二「世尊我等」下發願持學、三世尊讚印、四勸廣流通。初中，初虔恭、後領解。此虔恭也。既聞勝法，表進菩提，故從座起，顯當作佛。現吉祥兆，偏袒右肩。心符教理故合掌，心尊重故恭敬，敬逾深故頂禮佛足。

The commentary says: The fourth major section of the chapter is to grasp, understand, uphold, and study. The text is divided into four: first, devoutly and reverently grasping and understanding; second, from 'World-Honoured One, we...' onward, making vows to uphold and study; third, the World-Honoured One praising and confirming; fourth, encouraging widespread circulation. Within the first, there is first devout reverence and then grasping and understanding. This is the devout reverence. Having heard the supreme teaching, expressing advancement toward bodhi, they therefore arose from their seats, manifesting that they will become buddhas. To display an auspicious sign, they bared their right shoulders. Because their minds conformed to the teaching and principle, they joined their palms; because their minds held deep esteem, they were reverent; and because their reverence grew deeper still, they bowed their heads to the Buddha's feet.
