大方廣佛華嚴經疏 12.18

12.18

Fourth, praising the Tathāgata in verse, the text divides into two: first, the reason for uttering the verses; second, properly setting forth the verses. The ten verses divide into three: the first two show the Buddha's appearance—since it destroys darkness and is difficult to encounter, one must not miss the time; the next five cause one to contemplate the Buddha's virtues—possessing virtue and compassion, he is truly worth taking refuge in; the last three cite examples to encourage taking refuge—none, no matter how distant, fail to return, so one should certainly go to see him.
