華嚴經探玄記 8.7

8.7

支節諸骨同施。施皮者，《智論》十六中，如毒龍受一日夜戒，被剝五色皮，忍己施之。又金剛脇鹿王者，《菩薩本緣集經》第四中，菩薩往世墮畜生中而為鹿身，兩脇金色、脊似瑠璃、餘身雜廁種別難，名踝如硨磲、角如金精，其身莊嚴如七寶藏，身色光炎如日初出，為諸群鹿而作饒益。於大暴河，見人欲溺，投身救之。其人得濟，後遂背恩，告王將兵欲殺鹿取皮。將王及兵至，鹿指示，兩臂俱落。王知背恩，發心禮鹿，謝過而去。廣如彼說也。施手足指中，如有練指供養等，亦是其類。

The limbs and various bones are given together. Regarding giving the skin: in Dà zhìdù lùn, fascicle 16, it is like the venomous dragon who took the one-day-and-one-night precepts, and when flayed of its five-colored skin, endured it and gave it away. Furthermore, regarding the vajra-flanked deer king: in the Sūtra of the Collection of the Bodhisattva's Past Avadānas, fascicle 4, the bodhisattva in a past life fell among animals and took the body of a deer, with both flanks golden in color, its back like lapis lazuli, the rest of its body variegated with diverse colors difficult to name, its ankles like tridacna, its horns like the essence of gold, its body adorned like a treasury of seven jewels, the brilliant glow of its body like the rising sun, bringing abundant benefit to the herds of deer. At a great turbulent river, seeing a man about to drown, it threw its body in and rescued him. That man was saved, but later betrayed this kindness, informing the king and leading soldiers wishing to kill the deer to take its skin. Leading the king and soldiers there, as the deer pointed it out, both of the man's arms fell off. The king knew he had betrayed this kindness, aroused the mind [of faith], bowed to the deer, apologized for the transgression, and departed. It is extensively as spoken there. In giving the fingers of the hands and feet, instances such as burning fingers as an offering and the like also belong to this category.
