大方廣佛華嚴經疏 11.35

11.35

第五河間華林。長行有三：初總標、次「一一」下別顯、後「其香水」下總結。別顯二事，謂華及樹，水陸各一，實有多事。然此一段文勢少異，不列十事以顯無盡，而但舉二展轉明多，謂初一白蓮、後一寶樹。於此一樹出五業用：一出莊嚴雲、二寶王照耀、三華香盈滿、四出音演法、五雨寶遍地。於中，文有總別及結。別有八事，通三世間，初六現器、次一現正覺、後一現眾生世間。初劍葉林等，現惡業報。天意樹等，即善業報。男女林中朝生暮落，皆業報海。「如是等」下，且結樹之雨寶已有剎海塵數，例上出雲等四一一皆然，一樹之中已有多剎海之嚴矣。次例芬陀利華，亦同於樹，其華與樹各有四天下塵，一一皆爾，如華樹等類。復應有剎海塵數之物，故為無盡之嚴也。

Fifth, the groves of flowers between the rivers. The prose has three parts: first, the general indication; next, from 'each and every' downward, the specific exposition; finally, from 'that fragrant water' downward, the general conclusion. The specific exposition has two things, namely flowers and trees, one each of water and land, but in reality there are many things. However, the style of this section is slightly different: it does not enumerate ten things to reveal inexhaustibility, but merely takes two to clarify multiplicity in turn, namely first the white lotus and next the jewel tree. From this single tree emerge five functional operations: first, producing clouds of adornment; second, jewel kings shining; third, flowers and fragrances overflowing; fourth, emitting sounds that expound the Dharma; fifth, raining jewels all over the ground. Within this, the text has general, specific, and concluding [parts]. Specifically there are eight things, spanning the three worlds: the first six manifest the vessel [world], the next manifests sambodhi, and the last manifests the world of sentient beings. First, sword-leaf groves and the like manifest retribution of bad karma. Kalpavṛkṣa trees and the like are retributions of good karma. In the groves of men and women, being born at dawn and falling at dusk are all oceans of karmic retribution. From 'such as these' downward, concluding provisionally that the trees raining jewels already equals the dust motes of an ocean of lands, by analogy the other four such as producing clouds are each likewise, so within a single tree there are already the adornments of multiple oceans of lands. Next, by analogy the *puṇḍarīka* flowers are also the same as the trees; these flowers and trees each have the dust motes of four continents, each and every one being thus, and categories like the flowers and trees should further have items equal to the dust motes of oceans of lands, hence being inexhaustible adornments.
