御注金剛般若波羅蜜經宣演 2.64

2.64

經。須菩提當知至不可思議　演曰。第三何人能說。論云。此三威力及彼多等何人能說。是故經言等。此顯示彼福體及果不可測量故。此意是經文義福因之體及所得果。皆離心言不可思議難可了解。誰能演說。唯佛能知非餘所測勸。但持宣布當勝果。彼論第九成種種勢力得大妙果報。釋云。所謂攝受四天王釋提桓因梵天王等。成就勢力故。總是復成就何業訖。由如是事故持經勝。問。前說經力能斷有漏感得法身。如何今說得人天果。答。如無漏業資變易生。為斷於彼號斷。有漏據究竟說。何妨疎緣能感世果。

Sūtra: Subhūti, you should know [...] is inconceivable. Exposition: The third [part]: what kind of person is able to expound it. The commentary says: "Who can expound these three majesties and their abundance? Therefore the sūtra says: '...' This shows that the essence of that merit and its fruit cannot be measured." The meaning is that the essence of the causal merit of the sūtra's words and meaning, as well as the fruits attained, are all beyond thought and speech, inconceivable, and difficult to comprehend. Who can expound it? Only the Buddha can know it; it is not what others can fathom. It encourages one simply to uphold and propagate it, which will bring superior fruits. The ninth [point] in that commentary states: "Accomplishing various kinds of power and obtaining great and wondrous retributions." Its explanation says: "Namely, gathering in the Four Heavenly Kings, Śakra Devānām Indra, the Brahmā Kings, and so forth, thereby accomplishing power." This concludes the section on what karmic activities are accomplished. Due to such matters, upholding the sūtra is superior. Question: Previously it was said that the sūtra's power can sever the contaminated and induce the dharmakāya; why does it now say that it attains the fruits of humans and gods? Answer: Just as uncontaminated karma assists transformation-birth, it is called "severing the contaminated" with reference to severing that [birth]; this is spoken according to the ultimate. What is to prevent it from serving as a distant condition that can induce worldly fruits?
