金光明最勝王經疏 5.288

5.288

大辨才天女品，三門分別：來意、釋名、解難。言來意者，流通分中有三，初修行流通。於中復云此下五品則是第三令增福智。增福智中有四：一增辨才、二增衣服、三增飲食、四增智慧。何故如是？欲流通法以利於他，必藉辨才為生說故。雖有妙辨，若無衣服相不端嚴。如闕飲食，四大虛惙。又恐不能忍匱乏苦，退行二利。設復能行，恐有怖求，染心而說。故增飲食，令離斯緣。雖有資緣，若無智慧不能了達世俗勝義，倒說法故，故增智慧。然二利行，他利為先，說法利生必資四辨，故先明辨，有此品生。

"The Chapter on the Goddess Sarasvatī" is distinguished into three gates: the reason for its occurrence, the explanation of its name, and the resolution of difficulties. Regarding the reason for its occurrence: within the propagation section there are three parts, the first being the propagation through practice. Therein it is further stated that the five chapters below are the third part, which causes merit and wisdom to increase. In increasing merit and wisdom there are four aspects: first, increasing eloquence; second, increasing clothing; third, increasing food and drink; and fourth, increasing wisdom. Why is it like this? If one wishes to circulate the Dharma so as to benefit others, one must rely on eloquence in order to preach to sentient beings. Even if one has wondrous eloquence, without clothing one's appearance is not dignified. If one lacks food and drink, the four great elements will become exhausted and weak. Furthermore, there is the concern that one could not endure the suffering of deprivation and would regress from practicing the two benefits. Even if one were able to practice, there is the concern that out of fear and seeking [material support], one would preach with a defiled mind. Therefore, food and drink are increased to cause one to be free from these conditions. Even if one has resources and conditions, if one lacks wisdom, one cannot comprehend the conventional and ultimate [truths] and would preach the Dharma perversely; therefore, wisdom is increased. However, of the practices of the two benefits, benefiting others comes first, and preaching the Dharma to benefit sentient beings must rely on the four unobstructed eloquences; therefore, eloquence is clarified first, and thus this chapter arises.
