金光明最勝王經疏 6.96

6.96

下十三頌重料簡，分五：初二頌教祕術中一頌標、一頌釋。八術者，一療被針刺法；二療破傷法；三療身疾，即前四病四鬼損；五中毒藥；六療孩童；七延壽；八養身。二次五頌半教識病體。於中，初一頌標示、次四頌辨體、後半頌結法。三次「驗其無死相」下兩頌半，教觀死相。四次「訶梨」下示其妙藥。此說其總，不說別治。初一頌破藥、次一頌補藥。《涅槃經》第四云「六味：一苦、二醋、三甘、四辛、五醎、六淡。」西國此藥最為其上，應是《解深密經》所說毘涅縛藥。三果者，一訶梨勒迦；二阿摩洛迦，亦云阿無羅迦，即舊云菴摩羅果者訛；三仳仳得迦，似阿無羅而稍大也。三辛者，一干薑、二胡椒、三畢鉢，并沙糖等十易得補治。五次一頌指例誡勸。

Below, thirteen verses offer re-analysis, divided into five: First, the first two verses teach the secret arts, within which one verse indicates and one verse explains. The eight arts are: 1. the method of treating needle punctures; 2. the method of treating wounds and fractures; 3. treating bodily afflictions, namely the previous four diseases; 4. damage by ghosts; 5. poisoning; 6. treating infants and children; 7. prolonging life; 8. nourishing the body. Second, the next five and a half verses teach how to recognize the disease constitutions. Within this, the first verse indicates, the next four verses distinguish constitutions, and the latter half-verse concludes the method. Third, next, from 'confirming that there are no signs of death' onward, two and a half verses teach how to observe signs of death. Fourth, next, from 'harītakī' onward demonstrates the marvelous medicines. This expounds them generally, not explaining individual treatments. The first verse is about reducing medicines; the next verse is about tonifying medicines. Fascicle 4 of the *Nirvāṇa-sūtra* says: 'The six flavors are: first, bitter; second, sour; third, sweet; fourth, pungent; fifth, salty; sixth, bland.' In the Western regions this medicine is the supreme one; it should be the *piṇḍa* medicine expounded in the *Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra*. The three fruits are: first, harītakī; second, āmalaka, also called āmalikā, which is what old versions erroneously called *āmrātaka* fruit; third, bibhītaka, which resembles āmalaka but is slightly larger. The three pungents are: first, dry ginger; second, black pepper; third, pippalī; together with granulated sugar and so forth, making ten easily obtainable tonifying remedies. Fifth, the next one verse gives guidelines, admonitions, and exhortations.
