大方廣佛華嚴經疏 56.39

56.39

Second, from "saw Universal Adornment..." onward, seeing, paying reverence, and inquiring. Within this are three parts: first, seeing; next, paying reverence; and after that, inquiring. In the first part are two: first, seeing the excellence of the circumstantial reward, having ten aspects of adornment: 1. surrounded by jewel walls; 2. from "all the jewel trees" onward, rows of forest trees; 3. from "its ground" onward, majestic and lofty halls and pavilions; 4. from "ten thousand bathing ponds" onward, pure and splendid bathing pools; 5. from "wherein there were further a million reservoirs" onward, reflecting ponds and streams; 6. from "in the park there were further vast..." onward, the ornately spread palace and seat—which specifically explains where the good friend sat: first the palace, then the seat, as can be known; 7. from "in the park there were further..." onward, arrayed with canopies and nets—first the canopies, then the nets; 8. from "having a million great lights" onward, shining with radiance; 9. from "constantly raining..." onward, raining down miscellaneous adornments; 10. from "a million devaputras" onward, ordinary beings and noble ones rejoicing and paying reverence. Second, from "at that time Xiu-she..." onward, seeing the dignified marks of the direct reward. Within this are four: 1. the direct reward is extraordinary; 2. from "hundreds of thousands of koṭis" onward, clouds [of beings] looking up [to her] from the ten directions; 3. from "those who see this..." onward, the karmic functions are hard to fathom; 4. from "at that time, Sudhana entered..." onward, properly beholding her bodily deportment. Second, from "went to her place" onward, offering reverence. Third, from "addressed [her], saying: 'Noble one...'" onward, inquiring about the essentials of the Dharma. The text can be known in all cases.
