御注金剛般若波羅蜜經宣演 2.75

2.75

經。須菩提至牟尼　演曰。下別成中。依此論科展轉釋疑。文分有六。初無法得授記。二真如不可說。三佛不得菩提。四遮止增減執。五真如遍諸法。六安立第一義。初中有二。返釋順成。此初也。依彼論科有二。初法說斷疑。後譬如人身長大。下喻說斷疑。初中有六。即前六段其有異同。至文對辨。論云。此有何意。若正覺法可說。如彼燃燈如來所說者。我於彼時便得正覺。燃燈如來則不授記。言汝當得等。以彼法不可說故。我於彼時不得正覺。是故與我授記。演曰。若正覺法如言可說。有實體者。我於彼時有實勝行。何故不得良為正覺無如言體。我於彼時無實勝行。是故彼時不得正覺。但與我記當得菩提。彼論亦同。彼頌曰。

Exposition: Under the specific establishment below, relying on this treatise's outline, doubts are resolved successively. The text is divided into six: first, that without dharma one receives prophecy; second, that tathatā cannot be spoken; third, that the Buddha does not attain bodhi; fourth, the negation of grasping at increase and decrease; fifth, that tathatā pervades all dharmas; sixth, establishing the paramārtha. The first has two parts: reverse explanation and direct establishment. This is the first. Relying on that treatise's outline, there are two parts: first, explaining by dharmas to sever doubts; second, from "Just as a person's body is tall and large" below, explaining by metaphor to sever doubts. The first contains six parts, which are the previous six sections, with some similarities and differences, to be distinguished as the text arrives. The treatise says: "What is the intention here? If the dharma of correct awakening could be spoken, like what was spoken by that Dīpaṃkara Tathāgata, I would have attained correct awakening at that time, and Dīpaṃkara Tathāgata would not have bestowed the prophecy, saying 'In the future you shall attain...' and so on. Because that dharma cannot be spoken, I did not attain correct awakening at that time, and therefore he bestowed the prophecy upon me." Exposition: If the dharma of correct awakening could be spoken according to words, having a real entity, and I had real superior practice at that time, why did I not attain it? Precisely because correct awakening has no entity corresponding to words, and I had no real superior practice at that time, therefore at that time I did not attain correct awakening, but was only bestowed the prophecy that I would attain bodhi in the future. That treatise is also the same. Its verse says:
