華嚴經探玄記 5.70

5.70

初釋名者，本覺內薰，大心創起，故云發心。行成位立，名為菩薩。功超遠劫，德廣塵沙，故云功德。此明菩薩初發心之功德，是此所辨。為簡二乘故云菩薩，簡終心故云初發。此明發心所攝功德，非辨發心之相，故以題名。

First, explaining the title: original enlightenment perfumes within, and the great mind initially arises; therefore it is said "generating the mind." When practice is accomplished and the stage is established, one is called a "bodhisattva." The merits transcend distant kalpas, and the virtues are as vast as dust and sand; therefore it says "merits." This clarifies that the merits of the bodhisattva who first generates the mind are what is analyzed here. To distinguish from the two vehicles it says "bodhisattva"; to distinguish from the concluding mind it says "first generates." This clarifies the merits subsumed by the generation of the mind, rather than analyzing the characteristics of generating the mind; therefore it is taken as the title.
