仁王護國般若經疏 4.40

4.40

「灌頂菩薩」下，第五八行頌寂滅忍。文二：前五行頌下品、後三行頌上品。初中言「灌頂」者，在十二法師之上故名頂。《華嚴》二十七云「譬如輪王太子成就王相，取四大海水灌子頂上，即名灌頂大王。菩薩亦如是，受佛職時，諸佛以智水灌是菩薩頂，名灌頂法王。」是名菩薩入智慧職地，即法雲地菩薩也。為第四禪天王，有本云「五禪王」者，即取欲界及四禪也。「始入金剛」等者，以此定破無明，一切皆了也。從初歡喜終竟法雲有三十生，今但言「二十九生」者，以第三十生是其見受之身。於前二十九生已過，故云「永以度」也。「下忍觀」者，結因分齊。「一轉妙覺」者，結果分齊。雖即未得，轉心即得也。「等」即等觀，八地菩薩。「慧」即慧光，九地菩薩。「灌頂」即十地菩薩。此三品大士，共除餘習無明之緣。無明習相是舊煩惱，名之為「故」；即四住客塵是新煩惱也。「二諦」即真俗，「理窮」即中道。得此三觀諦現行，習氣皆盡也。

From "Crowned Bodhisattva" onwards, the fifth [section] of eight lines praises the patience of complete extinction. The text has two parts: first, five lines praising the lower grade; second, three lines praising the upper grade. In the first part, "Crowned" (*mūrdhābhiṣikta*): being above the twelve Dharma teachers, it is called the "crown." The twenty-seventh [fascicle] of the *Avataṃsaka* says: "Just as when a wheel-turning king's crown prince has perfected the royal marks, water from the four great oceans is taken and poured over the prince's crown, whereupon he is named a crowned great king; a bodhisattva is also like this: when receiving the rank of a buddha, all buddhas pour the water of wisdom over this bodhisattva's crown, naming them a crowned Dharma king." This is called the bodhisattva entering the stage of the office of wisdom, which is the bodhisattva of the Dharma Cloud Bhūmi (*dharmameghā*). Becoming the king of the Fourth Dhyāna Heaven—some versions say "King of the Five Dhyānas," which takes the desire realm and the four dhyānas. "Newly entering the diamond" and so forth: through this concentration one shatters fundamental ignorance, and all things are fully comprehended. From the initial Joyful Bhūmi to the end of the Dharma Cloud there are thirty births; here it mentions only "twenty-nine births" because the thirtieth birth is the body currently received. The preceding twenty-nine births have already passed, hence it is said to have "crossed forever." "Contemplation of lower patience" concludes the limits of the cause. "A single turn to wondrous awakening" concludes the limits of the fruit. Although not yet attained, upon turning the mind it is immediately attained. "Equal" is Equal Contemplation, the bodhisattva of the eighth bhūmi. "Wisdom" is Wisdom Light, the bodhisattva of the ninth bhūmi. "Crowned" is the bodhisattva of the tenth bhūmi. These three grades of Great Beings together eliminate the conditions of the residual habits of fundamental ignorance. The characteristics of fundamental ignorance's habits are old afflictions, called "old"; the adventitious defilements of the four abodes are new afflictions. "Two truths" are the real and conventional; "principle exhausted" is the Middle Way. Attaining the active operation of these three truths of contemplation, habit energies are entirely exhausted.
