華嚴經探玄記 1.84

六事名者，華嚴之稱，梵語名為健拏驃訶。健拏名雜華，驃訶名嚴飾。日照三藏說云：「西國別有一供養具，名為驃訶。其狀六重，下闊上狹，飾以華寶，一一重內皆安佛像。」良以此經六位重疊位位成佛，正類彼事，故立此名。人天八會亦似彼應知。

> Sixth, the phenomenal name: the designation "Huayan" is called gaṇḍavyūha in Sanskrit. Gaṇḍa means miscellaneous flowers, and vyūha means magnificent adornment. Tripiṭaka Master Divākara stated: "In the Western regions there is a distinct article of offering called a vyūha. Its shape has six tiers, broad below and narrow above, adorned with flowers and jewels, and within each tier a Buddha image is installed." Truly, because the six stages in this sūtra are stacked tier upon tier, and at stage upon stage one realizes Buddhahood, it exactly resembles that object; hence this name was established. It should be understood that the eight assemblies among humans and devas also resemble it.
