大方廣佛華嚴經疏 37.7

37.7

次正釋文，文亦三分：一讚請、二正說、三重頌。今初，六偈分二：初二偈半集經者序述。地海動者，表無明厚地，大愛海水可傾竭故。後三偈半正明讚請，於中初二偈半天王請、後一眾首請。第二正說分中二：初明地相、後明地果。前中，論為四分：一清淨對治修行增長因分，謂清淨等是次二分，今趣地方便為彼之因；二「佛子菩薩住此焰慧」下清淨分，是初入地出障行故；三「佛子菩薩住此第四」下對治修行增長分，即正住地行道品等行，能有所除故云對治，進習上上名修行增長；四「佛子至所有身見」下彼果分，此即地滿，是中二分之果。又此四分，即加行、無間、解脫、勝進四道。又四中，初一入心、後三住心。出心在調柔果。住心中三分攝前三位，初清淨分即攝生貴住、次攝至一切處迴向、後攝無盡行，至文當知。

Next is the proper explanation of the text. The text also has three parts: first, praise and request; second, the main exposition; third, the verses. Now, in the first, the six verses are divided into two: the first two and a half verses are the narrator's preface. The quaking of the earth and ocean symbolizes that the thick earth of ignorance and the vast ocean waters of great attachment can be overturned and dried up. The subsequent three and a half verses properly clarify the praise and request, wherein the first two and a half verses are the request of the heavenly kings, and the latter one is the request of the leader of the assembly. In the second, the main exposition part, there are two: first, explaining the stage's characteristics; second, explaining the stage's fruits. In the former, the treatise divides it into four parts: first, the causal part of cultivating and increasing pure antidotes—meaning that purity and so forth are the next two parts, and now the expedients for proceeding to the stage serve as their cause; second, from "O sons of the Buddha, when a bodhisattva abides in this Radiant Wisdom..." onward, the part of purity, which is the practice of transcending obstacles upon first entering the stage; third, from "O sons of the Buddha, when a bodhisattva abides in this fourth..." onward, the part of cultivating and increasing antidotes, which is practicing the factors of the path and other practices while properly abiding in the stage, being called antidotes because they can eliminate [obstacles], and progressing in cultivating the increasingly superior being called cultivating and increasing; fourth, from "O sons of the Buddha, up to all views of self..." onward, the part of their results, which is the fulfillment of the stage, being the result of the middle two parts. Furthermore, these four parts are the four paths of preliminary application, unhindered, liberation, and superior progression. Moreover, among the four, the first is the entering mind, and the latter three are the abiding minds. The emerging mind is within the result of flexibility. Among the abiding minds, the three parts subsume the previous three stations: the first part of purity subsumes the abode of noble birth, the next subsumes the dedication reaching everywhere, and the last subsumes inexhaustible practice, as will be known when reaching the text.
