大方廣佛華嚴經疏 23.11

23.11

The sixth major section, from "At that time" below, is the section on revealing the auspicious signs to testify to the confirmation. The text is divided into two distinct parts: first, the testimony of signs; second, the testimony of persons. In the former: first, this assembly; later, from "Just as this" below, concluding with universality. Second, from "Furthermore, with" below, the testimony of persons, also first in this world. In "The Ten Abodes" it was ten thousand, but here it says one hundred thousand, signifying the increase of the station. In the earlier manifestation of auspicious signs, it should also have said that each of the ten directions has one hundred thousand, but the text omits it for brevity. The other meanings have already appeared at the end of "The Ten Abodes". Later, from "Sons of the Buddha, we..." below, concluding with universality.
