妙法蓮華經玄贊 7.239

7.239

贊曰：此中有六。一土相，有七：一雜嚴，二無惡，三平正，四寶地，五樹，六繩，七華。准前鶖子，知因識果。「礫」沙也、小石也。「坑」虛也、塹也。或作「硎」，坎陷也、小壘也。「堆」聚土也。「阜」陵也。《玉篇》「高平曰陵，大陵曰阜。土也、肥也、厚也、長也。」

The Commentary says: Herein there are six [features]. The first, the features of the buddha-field, has seven: 1. diverse adornment; 2. absence of evil; 3. flatness and evenness; 4. ground of jewels; 5. trees; 6. cords; 7. flowers. In accordance with [the passage on] the Elder Śāriputra above, one knows the causes and recognizes the fruits. 'Grit' (礫) means sand, or small stones. 'Pits' (坑) means hollows, or trenches. Some write it as 'xíng' (硎), meaning indentations, depressions, or small mounds. 'Mounds' (堆) means heaps of earth. 'Hills' (阜) means knolls. The Yupian says: 'A high, flat place is called a ling (knoll); a great knoll is called a fu (hill). It is earth; it is fertile; it is thick; it is tall.'
