華嚴經探玄記 20.55

20.55

初中，聞普賢名等者，是何處聞？謂前文殊言聲說故。又亦是前文殊所置善財於普賢道場，是故於彼聞此名等。於中，初總顯普賢德位；二「地具」下別辨普賢地位。有十句：一地具者，助道法等。又釋：信等行為成地法。二地法者，諸地所行法，如初地十願、二地戒法等。三地得者，諸地所得果，謂調柔等。四地次第者，諸地連接等。五地修者，諸地中不住道，仰修上地等。又是《攝論》中五修等。六地住處者，功德住處故，又證智相應故。七地境界者，二諦為境故，又遍行真如等為所證境故。八地持者，任持所餘諸功德故，又《瑜伽》三持中是圓滿持故。九地共者，三種同相智，諸地同行故。十地正道者，根本、後得二智為體故。

In the first [part], as for "hearing the name of Samantabhadra," where was this heard? It means it was spoken by the voice of the preceding Mañjuśrī. Or again, it was because the preceding Mañjuśrī placed Sudhana in the bodhimaṇḍa of Samantabhadra, and therefore he heard this name and so forth there. Within this, first, he broadly reveals Samantabhadra's virtue and stage; second, from "the ground's endowments" downward, he specifically analyzes Samantabhadra's bhūmi stages. There are ten clauses: 1. "the ground's endowments" refers to the factors conducive to bodhi and so forth; alternatively, the practices of faith and so on are the dharmas that accomplish the bhūmis; 2. "the ground's dharmas" refers to the dharmas practiced in the various bhūmis, such as the ten vows of the first bhūmi, the precepts of the second bhūmi, and so forth; 3. "the ground's attainments" refers to the fruits attained in the various bhūmis, namely malleability and so forth; 4. "the ground's sequence" refers to the succession of the various bhūmis and so forth; 5. "the ground's cultivation" refers to the non-abiding path within the various bhūmis, looking up to cultivate the higher bhūmis, and so forth; alternatively, it refers to the five cultivations in the Mahāyānasaṃgraha and so forth; 6. "the ground's dwelling place" is because it is the dwelling place of merit, and also because of corresponding with realized wisdom; 7. "the ground's realm" is because the two truths serve as the realm, and also because suchness as universally active and so forth serves as the realized realm; 8. "the ground's upholding" is because it upholds the remaining virtues, and also because among the three upholdings in the Yogācārabhūmi it is the complete upholding; 9. "the ground's commonality" is because the three kinds of identical-sign wisdom are practiced in common across the various bhūmis; 10. "the ground's right path" is because the fundamental and subsequently attained wisdoms constitute its essence.
