華嚴經探玄記 3.66

3.66

第四體，長行中別內五，竝約事顯也。凡論土體有五重：一真如、二真智、三本識、四五塵、五諸事。諸事即法門，將為歎故，是以文中辨也。頌中十行：一寶華體；二炎空體；三光明體；四電光及願體；五日珠體；六寶炎及化體；七佛化體；八心業起體，或業起心海成土、或心業起土、或妄念為體；九佛身光體；十普賢化願體。此等並是任放辯才，說不待次故也。

Fourth, essence: within the prose, there are five individual items, all explained in terms of concrete phenomena. In general, when discussing the essence of a land, there are five levels: (1) suchness, (2) true cognition, (3) the fundamental consciousness, (4) the five dusts [sense objects], and (5) manifold phenomena. The manifold phenomena are themselves Dharma-gates; because they are meant to be praised, they are distinguished in the text. In the verse, there are ten lines: (1) jewel-flower essence; (2) flame-space essence; (3) light essence; (4) lightning-light and vow essence; (5) sun-jewel essence; (6) jewel-flame and transformation essence; (7) Buddha-transformation essence; (8) essence produced from mental karma—either karma arises in the ocean of mind to form the land, or mental karma gives rise to the land, or deluded thoughts serve as the essence; (9) essence of the Buddha's bodily light; (10) essence of Samantabhadra's vows of transformation. All these simply unleash eloquence, being spoken without waiting for sequential order.
