仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.306

3.306

解曰：凡欲登地先瑞相者，如《金光明》第四云「佛告師子相無礙光焰菩薩言：『善男子！初地菩薩是相，先現三千大千世界無量無邊種種寶藏無不盈滿，菩薩悉見。』」此與《大寶積》第一百一十五卷中十地文同，即先相矣。歡喜地者，謂初證得出世之心，昔所未得而今始得，生極喜故。所言地者，為無為德以為自性，如前解故。超愚夫地者，愚謂凡愚，無明為地。無漏斷彼，故云超也。生如來家者，無性《攝論》云「謂佛法界名如來家，於此證會故名為生，初生聖胎紹佛種故。」如《十地經》云「過凡夫地，入菩薩位，生在佛家，種姓尊貴」也。住平等忍者，真無高下，故云平等。正智證會，為忍住矣。從此第二明所證如。

Explanation: Whenever one is about to ascend the bhūmi, there are preliminary auspicious signs, as the Suvarṇaprabhāsa, fascicle four, says: 'The Buddha addressed the Bodhisattva Siṃhalakṣaṇāpratihata-prabhā-jvāla: "Good son, when this sign of a first-bhūmi bodhisattva appears, first there appear in the trichiliocosm immeasurable and boundless various jewel treasuries, all filled to overflowing, which the bodhisattva sees completely."' This is identical to the text on the ten bhūmis in fascicle 115 of the Mahāratnakūṭa; these are the preliminary signs. 'Joyous stage' means that upon first realizing the supramundane mind, one now obtains for the first time what was never obtained before, generating extreme joy. As for the term 'stage' (bhūmi), conditioned and unconditioned virtues constitute its intrinsic nature, as explained earlier. 'Transcends the stage of foolish persons': 'foolish' refers to ordinary fools, with ignorance as their ground. Uncontaminated [cognition] severs it, hence it says 'transcends'. 'Born into the family of the Tathāgata': Asvabhāva's Commentary on the Mahāyānasaṃgraha says: 'The dharmadhātu of the buddhas is named the family of the Tathāgata; because one realizes and converges with this, it is called being born, for one initially generates the noble embryo and continues the lineage of the buddhas.' As the Daśabhūmika Sūtra says: 'Crossing beyond the stage of ordinary beings, entering the position of a bodhisattva, being born into the family of the buddha, of noble lineage.' 'Abides in equal kṣānti': the real has neither high nor low, hence it is called 'equal'. Correct cognition realizes and converges with it, which is abiding in kṣānti. Next, the second [part] clarifies the thusness realized.
