金光明最勝王經疏 3.496

3.496

贊曰：所對懺者。於中分二：初虔恭禮讚、次「彼諸世尊」已下投誠請證。此初也。文分為二：初現世、後「如是等」下過未。初中復二：初禮、次讚。此禮也。盡壽投誠，故云歸命。表敬之極，故云頂禮。讚中，初讚自利得菩提、後讚利他轉法輪等。此即初也。

The commentary says: Those before whom one confesses. Within this, it is divided into two: first, reverently bowing and praising; next, from 'all those World-Honoured Ones' downward, sincerely imploring them to bear witness. This is the first. The text is divided into two: first, the present; later, from 'Such [Buddhas]' downward, the past and future. Within the first there are again two: first, bowing; next, praising. This is bowing. Devoting one's whole life in utmost sincerity is called 'taking refuge'; expressing the utmost of reverence is called 'bowing one's head'. Within the praise, first is praising svārtha in attaining bodhi; later is praising parārtha in turning the wheel of Dharma and so forth. This is the first.
