仁王經疏 3.455

3.455

釋曰：自下第二別明脩道起觀差別。於中有二：初明諸觀、後「是為」下結成證得。前中有四：一明八勝處、二明十遍處、三顯初地相、四辨九地相。此即初也。觀地水火風能造四大，青黃赤白所造四色，名八勝處。所緣境勝煩惱，故名勝處。出離貪欲，故名勝出。相謂體相，或是相狀、或是行相，是八勝處行解相也。依《大般若》，與此稍異。彼云「一內有色想觀外色少、二內有色想觀外色多、三內無色想觀外色少、四內無色想觀外色多、內無色想觀外諸色青黃赤白復為四種，名八勝處。」依《瓔珞經》，八名復異，四大同此經，四色同《般若經》。有色等四，不說青等以為四色。或可此經同《瓔珞經》，義亦無違。

Explanation: From here downward is the second, specifically explaining the differences in the contemplations aroused in cultivating the Way. Herein there are two [parts]: first, explaining the contemplations; second, from 'these are' downward, concluding the realizations attained. In the former there are four [parts]: first, explaining the eight bases of overcoming (aṣṭāv abhibhv-āyatanāni); second, explaining the ten totalities (daśa kṛtsnāyatanāni); third, revealing the marks of the first bhūmi; fourth, distinguishing the marks of the [subsequent] nine bhūmis. This is the first. Contemplating the four great elements that are capable of producing—earth, water, fire, and wind—and the four colors that are produced—blue, yellow, red, and white—is called the eight bases of overcoming. Because the object of cognition overcomes afflictions, they are called 'bases of overcoming'. Because one transcends sensual craving, it is called 'surpassing egress'. 'Mark' refers to the essential mark, or to the appearance, or to the mental aspect (ākāra); these are the cognitive aspects of the eight bases of overcoming. According to the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-sūtra, it differs slightly from this. It states: '1. Internally having the conception of form, one contemplates external forms as limited; 2. internally having the conception of form, one contemplates external forms as vast; 3. internally having no conception of form, one contemplates external forms as limited; 4. internally having no conception of form, one contemplates external forms as vast; [and with] internally having no conception of form, contemplating external forms as blue, yellow, red, and white, making four more, which are called the eight bases of overcoming.' According to the Yingluo jing, the eight names also differ: the four great elements are the same as in this sūtra, while the four colors are the same as in the Prajñāpāramitā-sūtra. In the four beginning with 'having the conception of form', it does not take blue, etc., as the four colors. Alternatively, this sūtra may agree with the Yingluo jing, and there is also no contradiction in meaning.
