華嚴經探玄記 19.48

19.48

Third, from 'Everywhere...' downward explains seeing, paying respects, and making requests. Within this are four parts: First, inquiring and seeking. Second, from 'In the middle of the night...' downward, seeing his objective reward, meaning it signifies the light of Dharma on which he relies, which dispels the darkness of the two extremes. Third, from 'At that time Sudhana...' downward, seeing his subjective reward. The break of dawn is because obstacles are exhausted and the stage becomes manifest. Ascending the mountain is because he attained concord with the stage. Seeing the non-Buddhist is because of realizing the dharmadhātu of persons. The ten thousand Brahmās, etc., is because host and retinue are fully complete. Fourth, paying respects and making requests, which can be understood.
