九中。令禮佛者，喜形於身也。復說偈者，形於言也。偈詞，上半是能喜。上句自喜，下句他喜。下半即所喜。上句喜緣會，下句喜得法。福願，竝宿因；時，即今緣。

Under [point] nine: Directing him to pay homage to the Buddha is an expression of joy manifested in the body. Reciting the verse again is manifested in words. In the verse, the first half is the capacity to rejoice: the upper line is rejoicing in oneself, and the lower line is rejoicing in others. The second half is that in which one rejoices: the upper line rejoices in the assembly of conditions, and the lower line rejoices in obtaining the Dharma. 'Meritorious vows' both pertain to past causes; 'time' refers to present conditions.
