金光明最勝王經疏 6.163

6.163

下談昔捨身正利時會。文分為三：初勅聽許說；二眾樂欲聞；三正為開演，於中復二：初長行、後重頌。長行有十：一陳往眷屬、二「是時大王」下述昔歡遊、三「第一王子」下遇苦悲生、四「爾時薩埵」下思應捨命、五「爾時王子」下捐身救濟、六「是時大地」下瑞感人天、七「是時餓虎」下虎遂能食、八「爾時大王」下眷屬號戀、九「爾時大王」下為立制底、十「阿難」下結示利生。陳往眷屬，有三：一明時節、二述父母、三說兄弟，文段可知。云摩訶波羅者，此云大渠。摩訶提婆者，此云大天。摩訶薩埵者，此云大勇猛，求大菩提發大勇猛，不憚處時捐身捨命，求法益物常無悋退，故云大勇猛。故下頌云「王子名勇猛，常施心無悋。」

Below, the discussion turns to the past relinquishment of the body to directly benefit the assembled congregation. The text is divided into three: first, commanding them to listen and granting permission to speak; second, the assembly desiring to hear; third, directly unfolding and expounding for them, within which are again two parts: first, the prose; later, the reiterating verses. The prose has ten [parts]: 1. setting forth the past kin; 2. from "At that time, the great king" onward, recounting the past pleasure outing; 3. from "The first prince" onward, encountering suffering and generating compassion; 4. from "At that time, Sattva" onward, reflecting on the necessity of giving up his life; 5. from "At that time, the prince" onward, casting away his body to rescue and aid; 6. from "At that time, the great earth" onward, auspicious signs moving humans and devas; 7. from "At that time, the hungry tigress" onward, the tigress then being able to eat; 8. from "At that time, the great king" onward, the relatives wailing and longing; 9. from "At that time, the great king" onward, erecting a caitya for him; 10. from "Ānanda" onward, concluding by revealing the benefiting of beings. As for setting forth the past kin, there are three: 1. clarifying the time; 2. recounting the parents; 3. speaking of the brothers; the divisions of the text can be understood. As for "Mahāpraṇāda", here it translates as "Great Channel". As for "Mahādeva", here it translates as "Great Deva". As for "Mahāsattva", here it translates as "Great Valiant One": seeking great bodhi, he generated great courage and vigor, not dreading time or place, casting aside his body and giving up his life; seeking the Dharma to benefit creatures, he was always without stinginess or retreat, hence he is called "Great Valiant One". Therefore, the verse below says: "The prince was named Valiant, / Always giving with a mind free of stinginess."
