金光明最勝王經疏 5.390

5.390

下別讚有，十一：一降怨勝。二「能久住」下住世勝。三「大婆」下解了勝。四明法，即四薜陀論。舊云韋陀，或毘伽羅論，皆訛謬也。一頡力薜陀，此云壽明，釋命長短事。二耶樹薜陀，此云祠祀明，釋祀祠之事。三婆摩薜陀，此云平明，平是非事。四阿達薜陀，此云術明，釋伎術事。此經云幻化呪等皆通達者，則第四明也。

Below, specific praises have eleven points: first, supremacy in subduing enemies. Second, supremacy in dwelling in the world, from 'able to abide long' onwards. Third, supremacy in comprehension, from 'the great brahmins' onwards. The 'four sciences of knowledge' are the four Vedas. Formerly called Weituo or Pijiaranlun (vyākaraṇa), both are erroneous. First, the Ṛgveda, here translated as 'Science of Longevity', which explains the length of lifespan. Second, the Yajurveda, here translated as 'Science of Sacrifices', which explains the matters of sacrificial rites. Third, the Sāmaveda, here translated as 'Science of Pacification', which resolves right and wrong. Fourth, the Atharvaveda, here translated as 'Science of Arts', which explains magical arts. What this sūtra refers to as 'thoroughly mastering illusory arts, mantras, and the like' is the fourth science.
