仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.184

3.184

Explanation: “Such immeasurable” clarifies what was heard. That is to say, King Prasenajit, as the old sūtra states, practiced the practices of the ten bhūmis, and on the bhūmis one constantly sees buddhas as appropriate. Now beholding the supernormal transformation, he saw great and small bodies, each expounding prajñāpāramitā to guide the great assemblies; hence he says “immeasurable.” “Cannot be cognized by consciousness” means shallow consciousness cannot cognize it. “Cannot be known by cognition” means inferior cognition cannot know it. This reveals that the Dharma taught is exceedingly immeasurable, unfathomably deep, and beyond the reach of consciousness and ordinary cognition. Next, the third: the formal question on upholding.
