金光明最勝王經疏 4.426

4.426

贊曰：正釋。初總牒、二「為已生故生」下開徵、三「若已生生者」下別非、四無「名無相」已下結成五蘊能現法界。此初二也。此開徵。意云：為諸法生已，更待生等因為能生？為諸法未生，待生等因為能生？

Commentary: The correct explanation. First, a general re-statement; second, from "is it that having already arisen they arise" downwards, opening the cross-examination; third, from "if that which has already arisen arises" downwards, refuting each separately; fourth, from "without name and without mark" onwards, concluding the establishment that the five skandhas are able to manifest the dharmadhātu. This covers the first two. This opens the cross-examination. The meaning is: do phenomena, after having arisen, further depend upon causes such as arising to be their producers? Or do phenomena, not yet having arisen, depend upon causes such as arising to be their producers?
