大方廣佛華嚴經疏 51.16

51.16

大文第六「爾時普賢菩薩告」下說分，中二：先總告、二「佛子」下正答。答前門二百問，問一答十，以顯無盡，成其二千普賢勝行，故英公云：「雲興二百問，瓶瀉二千酬。」釋此二千，略為五門：一約因果、二分行位、三顯普別、四明統收、五辨行相，前問例此。

The sixth major section, from "At that time the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra addressed" below, is the section on preaching, which has two parts: first, addressing [them] in general; second, from "Disciples of the Buddha" below, the actual answers. Answering the two hundred questions of the preceding topics, each question receives ten answers to manifest inexhaustibility, completing the two thousand superior practices of Samantabhadra. Thus Duke Ying said: "Clouds rise with two hundred questions; a vase pours forth two thousand replies." In explaining these two thousand, there are briefly five approaches: first, in terms of cause and fruit; second, distinguishing practices and stations; third, revealing the universal and the distinct; fourth, clarifying all-inclusive integration; and fifth, discerning the characteristics of practice. The preceding questions are analogous to this.
