大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 19.13

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [19.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.19.13)

疏「第七前後」等者，謂約列眾，餘經或從勝，先列菩薩、後列聲聞，或從微至著、或先列聲聞、後列菩薩。今此眾海，何者為先。疏文分三：一正明、二解妨、三結成表法。今初。列與讚德前後不同，然以菩薩為本，雜類為末。下讚德中，先三卷明雜類讚，後第五卷方明菩薩讚，故云尋末歸本。

> Regarding the Commentary's "Seventh: sequence," and so forth: this refers to listing the assembly, where other sūtras either proceed from the superior, listing bodhisattvas first and śrāvakas later, or proceed from the subtle to the prominent, or list śrāvakas first and bodhisattvas later. Now, in this ocean of assemblies, which comes first? The text of the Commentary is divided into three: first, directly explaining; second, resolving objections; third, concluding to reveal the Dharma. Now, for the first: listing them and praising their virtues differ in sequence; yet bodhisattvas are taken as the root and the miscellaneous classes as the branches. In the praise of virtues below, the first three fascicles first clarify the praises by the miscellaneous classes, and only in the fifth fascicle are the bodhisattvas' praises clarified; hence it is called "tracing the branches to return to the root."
