妙法蓮華經玄贊 10.455

10.455

釋名者，仁慈慧悟曰「賢」，德利周備名「普」，此由內證一真、外成萬德，所以德利周備、仁慈慧悟，故名普賢。《般若理趣》云：「一切有情皆如來藏，普賢菩薩遍自體故。」由證普遍賢善之理，能證之道名為普賢。故《華嚴》云：「普賢身相依於如如，不依佛國。」或由內證此普遍賢理，外彰三業無所不賢，故名普賢，此乃自利德為名也。誘獎名勸、導生為發。訓誘獎導令信導生，名為勸發，此乃利他德也。此品之中明普賢菩薩勸發信心持經入道，故名普賢菩薩勸發品。

Regarding explaining the title: benevolence, compassion, wisdom, and awakening are called 'bhadra' (worthy); virtues and benefits being universally complete is called 'samanta' (universal). This is because inwardly realizing the single reality and outwardly accomplishing the myriad virtues results in virtues and benefits being universally complete, and in benevolence, compassion, wisdom, and awakening; therefore he is named Samantabhadra. The Adhyardhaśatikā Prajñāpāramitā says: 'All sentient beings are the tathāgatagarbha, because Samantabhadra Bodhisattva pervades their own-nature.' Because he realizes the universally worthy and good principle, the path that can realize it is named Samantabhadra. Thus the Avataṃsaka-sūtra says: 'The bodily marks of Samantabhadra rely on thusness itself, not on a buddha-land.' Alternatively, because he inwardly realizes this universally worthy principle and outwardly manifests that not one of his three modes of action is other than worthy, he is therefore named Samantabhadra; this takes its name from the virtue of self-benefit. Enticing and praising is called 'encouragement' (quan); guiding and generating is called 'arousal' (fa). Instructing, enticing, praising, and guiding to make them believe and arouse [the mind] is called 'encouragement and arousal' (encouragement); this is the virtue of benefiting others. In this chapter, it explains Samantabhadra Bodhisattva encouraging the arousal of faith to uphold the sūtra and enter the Path; therefore it is named the 'Chapter on the Encouragement of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.'
