大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 19.51

19.51

疏「第十一主河神，即河伯之流」者，外典說為河伯故，《莊子．秋水篇》云「秋水時至，百川灌河，涇流之大，兩涘渚涯之間，不辯牛馬。（言其廣也）。於是焉，河伯欣然自喜，以天下之美為盡在己。順流而東行至於北海，東面而視不見水端。於是焉，河伯始旋其面目，望洋向若而歎曰：『野語之曰：「聞道百（謂萬分之一），以為莫己若」者，我之謂也。』」釋曰：向若者，即海神名也。如下引之。皆此章具。今但取名河伯。亦名馮夷，故《洛神賦》云「馮夷鳴鼓，如媧清歌。」

Regarding the Commentary's words, "Eleventh, the river-governing spirits, that is, the peers of the River Earl (Hebo)": because non-Buddhist texts speak of the River Earl, the "Autumn Floods" chapter of the Zhuangzi says: "The autumn floods arrived in season; a hundred streams poured into the Yellow River. So great was the surging flow that between the two shores and the islands, one could not distinguish an ox from a horse (this speaks of its vastness). Thereupon, the River Earl rejoiced in self-satisfaction, thinking that all the beauty under heaven was entirely within himself. Following the current eastward, he reached the North Sea, and looking eastward, he could not see the water's end. Thereupon, the River Earl first turned his face, gazed out over the vast expanse toward Ruo, and sighed, saying: 'The vulgar saying says: "One who has heard the Dao a hundred times (meaning one ten-thousandth) thinks none compares to himself"—this describes me!'" Explanation: "Toward Ruo" refers to the name of the sea spirit. It is cited as below. All are complete in that chapter. Here it merely takes the name River Earl. He is also named Fengyi; hence the Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess says, "Fengyi beats the drum, and Nüwa sings clearly."
