仁王經疏 3.470

3.470

釋曰：第二、別列華名。空華顯人空，法性華明法空。此二種華，表伏忍也，地前仰學二空觀故。聖人華表信忍也，初入聖法無漏信故。順華表順忍也，四五六地順無生故。無生華表下中品無生忍也，證解無生最是初故。法樂華表上品無無忍也，四辨自在說法樂故。金剛華表下品寂滅忍也，金剛三昧破諸結故。此上七華表大乘法。緣觀中道華表緣覺法，證解緣生中道觀故。三十七品華表聲聞法，道品觀中得自在故。

Explanation: Second, separately listing the names of the flowers. 'Emptiness flowers' reveals the emptiness of persons; 'dharma-nature flowers' clarifies the emptiness of dharmas. These two kinds of flowers represent suppression patience, because prior to the bhūmis one aspires to learn the contemplations of the two emptinesses. 'Noble ones flowers' represents the patience of faith, because one newly enters noble dharmas with outflow-free faith. 'Accordance flowers' represents the patience of accordance, because the fourth, fifth, and sixth bhūmis accord with the unborn. 'Unborn flowers' represents the lower and middling grades of the anutpattika-dharma-kṣānti, because realizing and understanding the unborn is the very first [such realization]. 'Dharma-joy flowers' represents the superior grade of the anutpattika-dharma-kṣānti, because one has the four unhindered eloquence abilities and takes joy in preaching the Dharma. 'Vajra flowers' represents the lower grade of the patience of cessation, because the vajrasamādhi shatters all fetters. The above seven flowers represent the Mahāyāna dharmas. 'Contemplation of causes and conditions on the middle way flowers' represents the Pratyekabuddha dharma, because they realize and understand the middle-way contemplation of conditioned arising. 'Thirty-seven factors of awakening flowers' represents the Śrāvaka dharma, because they attain mastery in the contemplation of the bodhipakkhiyā dhammā.
