一釋名者,功德者行體。華聚者喻名也。歎行勝妙,能與果為依,眾行集故也。眾德聚集,能嚴無上菩提果是因,故安菩薩也。十行者,數行之本相故。文云「譬如數法十,增一至無量,皆悉是本數,智慧故差別。」從五義得名耳。前眾既集,次須彰說,故次來也。
First, in explaining the name: 'Merit' (guṇa) is the essence of practice. 'Flower Cluster' (puṣpasamuccaya) is a metaphorical name. It praises practice as superior and wondrous, capable of serving as the basis for the fruit, because the manifold practices are gathered together. The assembly of manifold virtues can adorn the fruit of unexcelled bodhi as its cause, which is why 'Bodhisattva' is set forth. 'Ten Practices' refers to the fundamental aspects of the practices of numbers. As the text says, 'Just as the method of counting numbers ten, increasing by one reaches the immeasurable, all are the fundamental number, distinguished on account of wisdom.' The name is derived from these five meanings. Since the preceding assembly has already gathered, it must next be proclaimed; hence it comes next.
