大方廣佛華嚴經疏 21.9

21.9

四釋文者，文亦有三：一集眾、二放光、三偈讚。初中有十：一明集因，亦即各隨其類為現神通也。二「十方」下主菩薩。三「一一」下眷屬數。四從「十萬」下來處分量。然顯數隨位增，信十住百、迴向是萬，此合當千而云十萬，或譯人之誤，或是十百則傳寫之誤。五「其名」下列菩薩字。同名林者，表十行建立故、行類廣多故、聚集顯發故、深密無間故、扶疎庇映故。此十菩薩，表行之體也，可以意消息之。六「此諸菩薩」下來處剎名同名慧者，十解之慧行所依故。七「此諸菩薩各於」下明所事諸佛。同名眼者，以智導行，了了分明，成有目之足故。斯即十行當位之果佛，於此位顯者皆名眼故，宜以當界之佛與當界菩薩共相屬對思而釋之。八「是諸」下至已設敬。九「隨所」下參而不雜。十「如此」下結通無盡。

Fourth, as for explaining the text: the text also has three parts: 1. the gathering of the assembly; 2. the emission of light; 3. the verses of praise. Within the first there are ten points: 1. clarifying the cause of the gathering, which is also manifesting spiritual powers according to each of their types; 2. from "ten directions" downward, the principal bodhisattvas; 3. from "each and every" downward, the number of the retinues; 4. from "one hundred thousand" downward, the measurement of the places from which they came. However, the revealed numbers increase with the stations: faith has ten, the abodes have a hundred, and pariṇāmanā has ten thousand; here it ought to be a thousand, yet it says a hundred thousand—this is perhaps an error of the translator, or "ten hundred" was corrupted in transcription; 5. from "their names" downward, the names of the bodhisattvas are listed. Sharing the name "Forest" (Vana) signifies the establishment of the ten practices, the vast multiplicity of the types of practice, their gathering and manifestation, their profundity and continuity without interruption, and their flourishing shade and protection. These ten bodhisattvas represent the essence of practice; one can grasp this intuitively. 6. From "these bodhisattvas" downward, the names of the lands from which they came all share the name "Wisdom" (Matī), because the wisdom of the ten understandings is that upon which practice relies. 7. From "these bodhisattvas each, in the presence of" downward, it clarifies the buddhas they serve. Sharing the name "Eye" (Cakṣus) signifies guiding practice with wisdom, clear and distinct, thus completing feet with eyes. These are the fruit-buddhas corresponding to the station of the ten practices; because those manifested in this station are all named "Eye", one should reflect upon and explain them by mutually correlating the buddhas of the respective realms with the bodhisattvas of the respective realms. 8. From "these" downward, having arrived, they pay respect. 9. From "according to where" downward, they intermingle without confusion. 10. From "like this" downward, it conclusively extends universally without end.
