四分律行事鈔資持記 1.169

1.169

顯德中，初科，初至能盡，結前文也；直引下，生後意也。初文，上三句結歎。出道本依，對下成果，即約修因以論。本依，即基址義。宗極者，法身由成故，轉為果德故，眾聖敬護故；即如戒本，三世諸佛皆共尊敬，聖賢稱譽等。故下，示標宗意。表，首也。知下，明開悟。佩，持也。下下，明自他益。自餘下，明住持益。功德下，結示無窮。生後中。直引者，更無自說，使生信故。令下，稱美後學，使堅持故。或可從初至有在為結前，知自下即生後。結前同上釋。就生後中，初至能盡，即敘德；直下，明引顯，即題中顯德二字。聖說者，下引大小經律論，或是佛說，或餘人說，無非聖故；又可雖通餘人，還述佛意，是則聖說唯在如來。詳，審也。諸，之也。

In revealing virtues, in the first section, from the beginning up to 'can exhaust', it summarizes the preceding text; 'directly citing...' and following gives the purpose of introducing what follows. In the first text, the first three lines conclude with praise. 'The original basis for transcending the world', in contrast to the realization of the fruition below, is discussed with reference to cultivating causes. 'Original basis' has the meaning of a foundation. 'Supreme pinnacle' means: because the Dharma-body is accomplished through it, because it transforms into fruition-virtue, and because all sages revere and protect it; just as the prātimokṣa states that all Buddhas of the three periods jointly revere it, and the noble and wise praise it, and so forth. 'Therefore...' and following indicates the purpose of pointing out the principal. Biao (表) means the head. 'Knowing...' and following clarifies awakening. Pei (佩) means to hold. 'Under...' and following clarifies the benefits to oneself and others. 'The rest...' and following clarifies the benefit of maintaining [the teaching]. 'Merit...' and following concludes by indicating its inexhaustibility. In introducing what follows: 'Directly citing' means having no words of one's own, in order to generate faith. 'Causing...' and following praises later students so as to make them maintain it firmly. Alternatively, from the beginning up to 'is present' can be taken as concluding the preceding, and from 'knowing from oneself' onward introduces what follows. The conclusion of the preceding is explained as above. Within introducing what follows, from the beginning up to 'can exhaust' narrates the virtues; 'directly...' and following explains citing to reveal, which corresponds to the two words 'revealing virtues' in the title. 'Holy sayings' refers to the subsequent citations of Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna sūtras, vinayas, and treatises, whether spoken by the Buddha or by others, none being unholy; or alternatively, though extending to others, they still recount the Buddha's intention, and thus holy sayings reside solely in the Tathāgata. Xiang (詳) means scrutinize. Zhu (諸) means it (之).
