大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 11.22

11.22

疏「若重重取之亦至無盡」者，四結成無盡。言重重取者，謂如初一門中具十，十中取一，此一亦須具十具百具千，以不相離故。如一既爾，千門各十，義類亦然，則具十千。十千之中隨取其一，亦具十千。如一千錢共為緣起，一錢為首，則具一千，餘亦如是，則有千千。千千之中隨取其一，亦具千千，故至無盡。又重重者，一事之中有多事故，一境之中亦有多境，一智之中復有多智等，更相涉入，亦無盡也。

As for the commentary's "If one takes them layer upon layer, it also reaches the inexhaustible": this is the fourth [section], concluding that they are inexhaustible. Saying "takes them layer upon layer" means that, just as within the first gate ten are possessed, taking one among the ten, this one must also possess ten, possess a hundred, and possess a thousand, because of their inseparability. Since the one is thus, each ten of the thousand gates is likewise of this meaning and category, thus possessing ten thousand. Taking any one from among the ten thousand, it also possesses ten thousand. Just as one thousand coins together form a conditioned arising: taking one coin as the head, it then possesses one thousand; the rest are also like this, so there are a thousand thousands. Taking any one from among the thousand thousands, it also possesses a thousand thousands; therefore it reaches the inexhaustible. Furthermore, regarding "layer upon layer": because within one phenomenon there are many phenomena, within one object there are also many objects, and within one cognition there are again many cognitions, and so forth; entering and interpenetrating with one another, they are also inexhaustible.
