大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 11.45

11.45

疏「如一望多有依有持」下，第二例多望一也。於中有二：先結前，即是舉於能例；二「多望」下生後，即是正釋。問：既前門之中，先明一持多依、後例多持一依，義已圓足。何得更有此多望一耶？答：此有深旨。謂前一望多中，一為持邊，一能攝多；一為依邊，一能入多。雖復多上有持，但取一為能入，是故並屬一望於多。所以疏文欲釋後段多望於一，先結前段云「如一望多有依有持」等。有依者，即前多持，故成一依也。有持者，即前一有力，為多依故。言「全力」者，成上一持。言「無力」者，成上一依。言「常含多在己中」者，一有力為持，能攝多故。言「潛入己在多中」者，一無力為依，便入多故。故此二句皆屬一望多也。

From the Commentary's "Just as when looking from the one toward the many there is depending and supporting…" onward, the second part draws the analogy of looking from the many toward the one. Within this there are two: first, concluding the preceding, which is adducing that which serves as the analogy; second, from "looking from the many" onward, introducing what follows, which is the direct explanation. Question: Since within the previous gateway, first clarifying the one supporting and the many depending, and then drawing the analogy of the many supporting and the one depending, the meaning was already complete, how can there be this looking from the many toward the one again? Answer: There is a profound intent in this. That is, in the previous looking from the one toward the many: as the aspect of supporting, the one can encompass the many; as the aspect of depending, the one can enter the many. Although there is support upon the many, taking only the one as that which can enter, both therefore belong to looking from the one toward the many. Hence, wishing to explain the subsequent section of looking from the many toward the one, the Commentary first concludes the preceding section, saying: "Just as when looking from the one toward the many there is depending and supporting," and so on. "Having depending" is precisely the preceding support by the many, thus forming the dependence of the one. "Having supporting" is precisely the preceding efficacy of the one, serving as the support for the many. The phrase "entirely efficacious" completes the above "one supporting." The phrase "powerless" completes the above "one depending." The phrase "constantly contains the many within itself" means the one being efficacious serves as support, being able to encompass the many. The phrase "subtly enters itself into the many" means the one being powerless serves as depending, thus entering the many. Therefore both of these lines belong to looking from the one toward the many.
