金光明最勝王經疏 5.136

5.136

贊曰：第二明令人王護法。於中有三：一不護有損、二「世尊若有人王」下明弘護得益、三「世尊如大梵天」下校量明勝勸令弘經。初中有二：初棄法不弘，有二：初棄法、次棄人；後「遂令我等」下明由斯有損，復二：初天損、後人損。天損中有五：初失法利、二失威光、三增惡趣、四感人天、五失正路，如文可知。

Commentary: The second [major part] explains causing the king of men to protect the Dharma. Here there are three [sections]: 1. failure to protect brings harm; 2. from "World-Honoured One, if there is a king of men" onward explains that propagating and protecting brings benefit; 3. from "World-Honoured One, just as the Great Brahmā..." onward compares and clarifies superiority, encouraging the propagation of the sūtra. The first has two parts: first, abandoning the Dharma and failing to propagate it, which has two: first, abandoning the Dharma; next, abandoning the person; later, from "he will thereby cause us..." onward explains that harm arises due to this, which again has two: first, harm to the devas; later, harm to humans. Within harm to the devas there are five: 1. loss of Dharma benefit; 2. loss of majesty; 3. increase in bad destinies; 4. effect on humans and devas; 5. loss of the correct path, as is clear from the text.
