金剛般若經依天親菩薩論贊略釋秦本義記卷上 1.106

1.106

經。須菩提譬如有人身如須彌山王於意云何是身為大不　自下斷第七疑也。此報佛有取疑。論敘疑云。若聖人以無為法得名。彼法不可取不可說。云何受樂報佛自取法王身。云何餘世間人復取彼是法王身。為斷此疑經文有二。初問答斷疑。後校量顯勝。前中有四。一問二答三徵四釋。此初問也。言譬如有人舉報佛之身也。如須彌山王者。顯身勝大也。是身為大不者。問佛大身有分別心取大相不。須彌山者此云妙高。四寶合成。六萬諸山而為眷屬。然今此中以彼山王喻報佛身。如須彌山王出過眾山故名為大。而不自取我是山王。受樂報佛出過眾聖勝故名大。而不自取我是法王。其義相似故引為喻。

[Sūtra:] "'Subhūti, suppose there were a person whose body was like the king of mountains, Sumeru. What do you think? Would that body be large?'"

Hereafter, the seventh doubt is resolved. This is the doubt that the reward Buddha has grasping. The Treatise states the doubt, saying: "If noble persons are designated by unconditioned dharmas, and that dharma cannot be grasped and cannot be spoken of, why does the reward Buddha who experiences bliss himself grasp the Dharma King's body? Why do other worldly people also grasp that he is the Dharma King's body?" To resolve this doubt, the sūtra text has two [parts]: first, resolving the doubt through question and answer; later, comparing measures to reveal superiority. In the first [part] there are four: first, question; second, answer; third, interrogation; fourth, explanation. This is the initial question. Saying "suppose there were a person" brings up the body of the reward Buddha. "Like the king of mountains, Sumeru" reveals the superiority and largeness of the body. "Would that body be large?" asks whether the Buddha's large body has a discriminative mind that grasps the characteristic of largeness. Mount Sumeru is translated here as "Wondrous and High" (Miàogāo); formed from the four jewels, it has sixty thousand mountains as its retinue. However, here that mountain king is used as a metaphor for the reward Buddha's body. Just as the king of mountains Sumeru surpasses the multitude of mountains and is therefore called "large," yet does not itself grasp "I am the king of mountains"; the reward Buddha experiencing bliss surpasses all noble ones and is superior, hence called "large," yet does not himself grasp "I am the Dharma King." Because their meanings are similar, it is cited as a metaphor.
