華嚴經探玄記 5.31

5.31

初釋名者，菩薩是人、十住是法，謂得位不退故云住。住法應圓，依則說十，即帶數釋。又此住法是菩薩所有，是有財釋。又菩薩之住，依主釋。又菩薩即住，持業釋。問：前外凡，〈賢首品〉唯約人名，後〈十地〉聖位唯約法名，於此內凡三賢之中人法合目者何耶？答前位未成故就人法目，三賢位劣人法合稱，聖位顯著故唯約法名，此亦是施設漸增之相。問：等是人法合目，何故十行十迴向提別人名，此中舉通名耶？答：於賢位中有三，謂下中上，此當下品，劣故舉通名；十行是中賢次故，雖提別名，然約義少改，名華聚等也；迴向是上賢勝故，稱本別提名金剛幢迴向也。

First, explaining the title: "Bodhisattva" is the person; "ten abodes" is the teaching (dharma). It is called "abode" because one attains non-retrogression in stage. The teaching of the abodes should be complete, and following [the principle] ten are spoken, which is an explanation retaining the number (saṃkhyā-tatpuruṣa). Furthermore, these teachings of the abodes are possessed by the bodhisattva, which is a bahuvrīhi compound. Furthermore, the abodes of the bodhisattva is a genitive tatpuruṣa compound. Furthermore, the bodhisattva is the abodes, which is a karmadhāraya compound. Question: Previously, for the outer ordinary beings, the "Chapter of the Worthy Leader" was titled solely in terms of the person; later, for the sagely stages of the "Ten Bhūmis", it is titled solely in terms of the teaching. Why is it that here among the inner ordinary beings, the three stages of worthies, person and teaching are designated jointly? Answer: Because the previous stages were not yet accomplished, they were designated in terms of person and teaching; the stages of the three worthies are inferior, so person and teaching are mentioned jointly; the sagely stages are prominent, so they are titled solely in terms of the teaching. This is also the aspect of gradual increase in pedagogical establishment. Question: Since they are equally joint designations of person and teaching, why do the ten practices and the ten dedications bring up specific names of persons, whereas here a general name is presented? Answer: Within the stages of worthies there are three, namely lower, middle, and upper. This corresponds to the lower grade, and being inferior, a general name is presented; the ten practices are the next, the middle worthies, so although a specific name is presented, it is slightly altered according to the meaning, being named "Flower Accumulation" and so forth; dedication is the upper worthies and superior, so it matches the original specific designation, being named "Vajradhvaja's Dedication".
