華嚴經探玄記 19.82

19.82

第七隨順等觀一切眾生迴向知識中，初舉法勸修內，光明山者，彼山樹花常有光明，表大悲光明普門示現。此山在南印度南邊，天竺本名逋多羅山，此無正翻，以義譯之名小樹蔓莊嚴山。又《十一面經》在此山說。觀世音者，有名光世音，有名觀自在，梵名逋盧羯底攝伐羅。逋盧羯底，此云觀。毘盧，此云光。以聲字相近，是以有翻為光。攝伐羅，此云自在。攝多，此云音。勘梵本諸經中有作攝多、有攝伐羅，是以翻譯不同也。《觀世音經》中即時觀其音聲皆得解脫。解云：等觀世間，隨聲救苦，名觀世音。彼經中具有三輪：初語業，稱名除七災，謂水火等。二身業，禮拜滿二願，謂求男女等。三意業，存念除三毒，謂若貪欲等。並如彼說。若偏就語業名觀世音，以業用多故。若就身語名光世音，以身光照及故。若具三輪，攝物無礙名觀自在。

Under the spiritual friend of the seventh, the dedication of according with and equally contemplating all sentient beings, first, within adducing the Dharma and urging practice: Mount Potalaka (Guāngmíng Shān) is so named because the trees and flowers on that mountain constantly possess radiance (guāngmíng), representing the universal manifestation of the light of great compassion through all doors. This mountain is on the southern edge of South India. The Indian original names it Mount Potaraka; there is no exact translation here, but translated according to its meaning, it is named "the Mountain Adorned with Small Trees and Vines." Furthermore, the Eleven-Faced [Avalokiteśvara] Sūtra was spoken on this mountain. As for Guānshìyīn: he is sometimes named Guāngshìyīn, and sometimes named Guānzìzài; in Sanskrit, the name is Avalokiteśvara. Avalokita means "observing" (guān) here. Vairocana means "light" (guāng) here. Because the sounds and characters are close, it was therefore translated by some as "Light" (guāng). Īśvara means "sovereignty" (zìzài) here. Svara means "sound" (yīn). On checking the Sanskrit texts of various sūtras, some have svara, while some have īśvara; hence the translations differ. In the Guānshìyīn Sūtra, "observing their sounds at that moment, all attain liberation." It is explained: "Equally contemplating the world and rescuing from suffering according to sound is named Guānshìyīn." That sūtra fully possesses the three wheels: first, verbal karma—reciting the name eliminates the seven disasters, namely water, fire, and so forth; second, bodily karma—bowing fulfills the two wishes, namely seeking a son or daughter, and so forth; third, mental karma—bearing him in mind eliminates the three poisons, namely greed and so forth. All are as stated therein. If exclusively referring to verbal karma, he is named Guānshìyīn, because the karmic function is plentiful. If referring to body and speech, he is named Guāngshìyīn, because his physical light shines and reaches. If possessing the three wheels, gathering beings without hindrance, he is named Guānzìzài.
