御注金剛般若波羅蜜經宣演 2.54

2.54

經。若有人能至不可思議功德　演曰。讚修行人有四。一舉修行。二成勝德。三荷正法。四簡非根。此初二也。如來悉知已下是第二文。問。前說佛知與此何別。答。前約憶念親近如說記念。如此人等。今約唯佛能知。行法行人所成福等餘不能知。故二意別。釋文如前。即是彼論第四句滿足無上界。界者因義。

Sūtra: If there is someone who can, up to inconceivable merit. Exposition: Praising the practitioners has four [parts]: first, adducing the practice; second, accomplishing superior virtue; third, shouldering the correct Dharma; fourth, excluding those of unfit capacity. These are the first two. From "The Tathāgata fully knows" onward is the second text. Question: What is the difference between the Buddha's knowing spoken earlier and this? Answer: Earlier, it concerned mindful recollection and intimacy—holding them in memory as spoken, such persons as these; here, it concerns the fact that only the Buddha can know, whereas others cannot know the merit and so forth accomplished by practitioners who practice the Dharma. Thus the two intentions differ. The explanation of the text is as before. This is precisely the fourth line of that treatise: "fulfilling the unsurpassed realm." "Realm" (dhātu) has the meaning of "cause."
