仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.332

3.332

The commentary explains: "Four asaṃkhyeyas" means adding one eon on top of the previous three. Regarding "cultivating," etc.: that the practice here differs from that of the worthy stages is based on the Yogācārabhūmi, which says: "The first incalculable eon is called pāramitā, because one cultivates one practice within one practice. The second incalculable eon is called near-pāramitā, because one cultivates all practices within one practice. The third incalculable eon is called great pāramitā, because one cultivates all practices within all practices." The Saṃdhinirmocana, fascicle four, and the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi, fascicle nine, say the same. Now, this cultivation refers to the second eon, and therefore it differs from the level of the worthy ones. Hereafter, the second part explains the power of cognition and vows.
