華嚴經探玄記 19.8

19.8

Third, seeing, revering, and requesting: first, searching and announcing. “Good City” is also a name for Śūna; the Indic text is named “City of the Good,” and saying “outside the city” signifies the outer defense of precept practice. “Beside the river waters” signifies generating the water of samādhi. The river waters are precisely that river's waters. Second, seeing his activity of playing with sand explains the expedient assembly and arising of the numbers of the three clusters of precepts. Third, paying respect, and fourth, requesting, may be understood.
