大方廣佛華嚴經疏 53.26

53.26

Sixth, the two gates from 'the youthful stage' onward clarify the practice of living at home in conformity with worldly customs, both belonging to the phase of dwelling in the royal palace. As a youth he was already in the royal palace; however, this gate clarifies that in his youth he harbored virtues and skills, revealing that he was preeminent; the latter gate shows that his nobility was supreme yet undefiled, manifesting his lofty virtue. In the first, the eighth says 'causing them to delight in the Dharma': being youthful yet having pure conduct, with virtuous deeds transcending peers, later upon seeing the attainment of the Way they will surely delight in his Dharma. The other nine are understandable. Second, directly clarifying dwelling in the palace: among the ten, 1. transforming fellow practitioners: fellow practitioners dwelled in the palace, as was the case with Gopā. 4. In a defiled world, admiring nobility. The other eight are understandable.
