華嚴經探玄記 16.38

16.38

第四說分中答前十問即為十段，一一各二，長行與頌。十中，初答性起正法者是總相故，身業等九種是別相故，皆是性起，同異成壞皆准可知。又釋：此初是所依之法，餘九是能依之德，依法成德同名性起。又此十門皆約緣顯性，性從緣現故名性起。亦有諸德將此十中初一為因、後九為果。文相非順。

Fourth, within the part on expounding, answering the preceding ten questions constitutes ten sections, each having two parts: prose and verses. Among the ten, the first answers regarding the correct Dharma of nature manifestation because it is the general characteristic, while the nine kinds such as bodily karma are the specific characteristics; all are nature manifestation, and their sameness, difference, integration, and disintegration should all be understood accordingly. Another explanation: this first one is the Dharma that is relied upon, and the remaining nine are the virtues that rely upon it; accomplishing virtues in reliance upon the Dharma are equally termed nature manifestation. Furthermore, these ten gates all reveal the nature in relation to conditions; because the nature appears from conditions, it is named "nature manifestation." There are also masters who take the first of these ten as the cause and the subsequent nine as the fruit; this does not accord with the textual presentation.
