華嚴經探玄記 16.21

16.21

初釋名者，寶王是摩尼寶珠，最可珍貴，故名寶也。以能出寶自在故、寶中最勝故、眾寶所依故，故名王也。喻性起法亦具三義，謂出智義、最勝義、所依義。《佛性論．如來藏品》云「從自性住來至得果，故名如來。」不改名性、顯用稱起，即如來之性起。又真理名如名性、顯用名起名來，即如來為性起。此等從人法及法用題品目。又別翻一本名如來祕密藏經，又一本名如來興顯經。又此下文具有十名，並可知。

First, explaining the title: "Jewel king" is the maṇi jewel, the most precious of treasures, hence called "jewel." Because it can produce jewels with mastery, because it is the supreme among jewels, and because it is that on which all jewels depend, it is called "king." It exemplifies that the dharma of nature manifestation also possesses three meanings: the meaning of producing wisdom, the meaning of being supreme, and the meaning of being that on which things depend. The *Treatise on Buddha-nature* (*Foxing lun*), in the chapter "Tathāgatagarbha," states: "From abiding in self-nature to attaining the fruit, hence it is called 'tathāgata'." That which does not change is called "nature"; that which manifests functions is called "manifestation" (or "arising"); this is the nature manifestation of the Tathāgata. Furthermore, the true principle is called "suchness" (tathā) and "nature"; the manifestation of function is called "manifestation" (arising) and "come" (āgata); thus the Tathāgata is nature manifestation. These titles name the chapter from the perspectives of person and dharma, as well as dharma and function. Moreover, another translation of this text is titled *Sūtra on the Secret Treasury of the Tathāgata*, and another is titled *Sūtra on the Tathāgata's Arising and Manifesting*. Furthermore, the text below contains ten titles, all of which may be understood.
