華嚴經探玄記 12.36

12.36

第四五根者，依此五行能生見道，故名為根。下文〈離世間品〉云「一信根不可爼壞；二發大精進，究竟一切事而不退轉；三安住正念除滅亂想；四三昧方便決定了知；五智慧境界善巧分別故。」解云：此正經自約菩薩道釋。依止厭等及第五五力，並準前可知。

Fourth, regarding the five faculties (indriya): because one can give rise to the path of seeing based on these five practices, they are called 'faculties'. A subsequent passage in the 'Chapter on Transcending the World' says: 'First is the faculty of faith, which cannot be destroyed; second is generating great diligence, bringing all matters to completion without turning back; third is dwelling securely in correct mindfulness, eliminating scattered thoughts; fourth is the skillful means of samādhi, knowing decisively; fifth is the realm of wisdom, skillfully distinguishing.' The explanation states: this direct sūtra text itself explains them in terms of the bodhisattva path. 'Relying on revulsion' and so forth, as well as the fifth, the five powers, should all be known by analogy with the preceding.
