大方廣佛華嚴經疏 57.30

57.30

Sixth, the elder Samantanetra, lodges in the practice of good manifestation (kuśalaprabhāvanā). The country is named Vine Root (Kaṇṭhaka/Rattamāla): vines take root deep in the earth, and above sprout flowers and shoots. This represents that the prajñā of the practice of good manifestation realizes deeply and can produce subsequent [wisdom], and subsequent wisdom shifts in accordance with beings; hence an analogy is drawn from vines. The city is named Samantamukha (Universal Gate), because the prajñā of the true mark leaves nothing unpenetrated. The elder is named Samantanetra (Universal Eye), because contemplative prajñā leaves nothing unseen. In the first part, proceeding and seeking in accordance with the teaching: in saying "deeply entering the immeasurable knowledge and vision of all Buddhas," "immeasurable" has two meanings: first, being numerous, which is the realm of expedient wisdom; second, being without measure, which is the realm of real wisdom. Because the realm is immeasurable, wisdom is also immeasurable. "Knowledge and vision" also has two meanings: first, distinct, meaning knowledge is jñāna and vision is prajñā, which are the wisdom and discernment that illuminate the two realms; second, shared, meaning that the two words "knowledge" and "vision" are both that which the Tathāgata can realize, because he knows their meaning as it truly is—namely, unobstructed wisdom. If so, why bother to repeat the words? To distinguish it from inferential knowledge, he says "vision." To distinguish it from the vision of the fleshy eye, he says "knowledge." This is like Vasubandhu's commentary on the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra explaining "completely knowing, completely seeing." "Entering" means realizing and reaching. The remaining lines are easy to understand.
