金光明最勝王經疏 5.79

5.79

The sūtra states: 'O great king! If in future ages there are human kings who listen to and accept this sūtra, respectfully making offerings to it, and also upholding the sūtra, honoring and praising the fourfold assembly, and furthermore wishing to bring peace, joy, and benefit to you and your retinues, as well as the immeasurable hundreds of thousands of yakṣa assemblies, therefore those kings should constantly listen to and accept this wondrous sūtra. Because the kings are able to hear the water of this saddharma, the supreme flavor of amṛta, it will augment the physical and mental strength, energetic vigor, and valor of you all, fully charging you with merit and majestic radiance. If these human kings can listen to and accept this sūtra with supreme sincerity, this will constitute a vast and rare offering made to me, Śākyamuni, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha. If they make offerings to me, this is making offerings to the past, future, and present hundreds of thousands of koṭis of nayutas of buddhas. If one can make offerings to the buddhas of the three times, one will obtain an immeasurable, inconceivable accumulation of merit.'
