金光明最勝王經疏 5.554

5.554

下明地神請說并益，復二：初請說、後「世尊我堅牢」下與益。請說有三：初願請、次「何以故」徵、後「世尊」下釋與益。可知。

Below clarifies the earth goddess requesting the preaching and granting benefits, which again has two parts: first, requesting the preaching; later, from "World-Honoured One, when I, Dṛḍhā" onward, granting benefits. Requesting the preaching has three points: first, the vow to request; next, raising the question with "Why is this?"; later, from "World-Honoured One" onward, explaining the granting of benefits. This can be understood.
