祇夜 [qi ye]—Geya—[Term] Geya, formerly translated as "repeated recitation verse" (重诵偈 [zhong song ji]) or "repeated praise" (重颂 [zhong song]). The new translation is "responsive praise" (应颂 [ying song]). The meaning of the sutra text stated in the preceding section is further expounded in a verse. It is called "repeated praise" (重颂 [zhong song]) because it reiterates its meaning. It is called "responsive praise" (应颂 [ying song]) because it corresponds to the meaning of the preceding sutra text. It is one of the Twelve Divisions of the Buddhist Canon (十二部经 [shi er bu jing]).
Dayi Mahayana Yizhang (大乘义章一 [da cheng yi zhang yi]) states: "Geya, this translates to 'repeated recitation verse' (重诵偈 [zhong song ji]). It is called Geya because it uses verses to reiterate the Dharma principles explained in the Sūtra (修多罗 [xiu duo luo])."
Xuanyi Liushang (玄义六上 [xuan yi liu shang]) states: "Geya refers to the verses in various sutras, consisting of four, five, seven, or nine characters per line, with an irregular number of lines. Those that reiterate the preceding text are all called Geya."
Huayan Shuchao Ershiyi (华严疏钞二十一 [hua yan shu chao er shi yi]) states: "Geya, this translates to 'responsive praise' (应颂 [ying song]). Firstly, it is a verse that corresponds to the prose (长行 [zhang xing]) because the prose may not have fully exhausted its meaning. The Zajipin (杂集 [za ji]) states that for 'unclear meaning sutras' (不了义经 [bu le yi jing]), further explanation in verse is needed. Secondly, it is for those who come later, so it should be praised again. The Nirvana Sutra (涅槃经 [nie pan jing]) states: 'The Buddha previously taught the Kejing (契经 [qi jing]) to the bhikshus. At that time, there were sentient beings of sharp faculties who arrived later to hear the Dharma. They then asked people: What did the Tathagata just teach? The Buddha, knowing this, then, based on the original sutra, recited in verse: I and you formerly did not recognize the Four Noble Truths (四真谛 [si zhen di]), therefore we have long been wandering in the great sea of suffering of samsara (生死大苦海 [sheng si da ku hai]), etc.'"
Sanzang Fashu Sishisi (三藏法数四十四 [san cang fa shu si shi si]) states: "The Sanskrit word Geya, in Chinese, means 'responsive praise' (应颂 [ying song]), also called 'repeated praise' (重颂 [zhong song]). It means to reiterate the meaning in response to the preceding prose (长行 [zhang xing]) text. Whether it is six lines, four lines, three lines, or two lines, it is all called a verse."
祇夜—【術語】Geya，舊譯曰重誦偈，重頌。新譯曰應頌。前段所說經文之義，更為偈頌者，即重說其義故云重頌。與前段之經義相應故云應頌。是十二部經之一。大乘義章一曰：「祇夜，此翻名為重誦偈也。以偈重誦修多羅中所說法義，故名祇夜。」玄義六上曰：「祇夜者，諸經中偈，四五七九言，句少多不定。重頌上者，皆名祇夜也。」華嚴疏鈔二十一曰：「祇夜者，此云應頌。一與長行相應之頌，由於長行說未盡故，雜集云不了義經，應更頌釋。二為後來，應更頌故。涅槃云：佛昔為諸比丘說契經竟，爾時復有利根眾生，為聽法故，後至佛所，即便問人：如來向者為說何事？佛時知已，即因本經，以偈頌曰：我昔與汝等不識四真諦，是故久流轉生死大苦海等。」三藏法數四十四曰：「梵語祇夜，華言應頌，又云重頌。謂應前長行之文，重宣其義。或六句四句三句二句，皆名頌也。」
