大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 19.5

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [19.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.19.5)

疏「常為嚴淨佛宮殿故」者，此即主城神德，下經云「皆於無量不思議劫，嚴淨如來所居宮殿。」所以標道場神，及釋却引主城神者，此中等字等城神故。然道場神合嚴道場，以道場神所歎德中，但云「皆於過去值無量佛，成就願力，廣興供養。」釋曰：由無嚴飾之文，故等取城神之文耳。「五為供養」等者，以義繁重重，故總相引。「偈讚」下，〈妙嚴品〉。其「華幢等」，即第二十二經〈昇兜率天宮品〉。

> Regarding the commentary's phrase "Constantly adorning and purifying the Buddha's palaces": this refers to the virtue of the city-ruling spirits. The subsequent sūtra text says: "All of them, throughout immeasurable, inconceivable kalpas, adorned and purified the palaces inhabited by the Tathāgatas." The reason why the heading indicates the site-of-enlightenment spirits while the explanation instead cites the city-ruling spirits is that the word "etc." here includes the city spirits. Now, the site-of-enlightenment spirits ought to adorn the site of enlightenment, but in the verse praising the virtues of the site-of-enlightenment spirits, it only says: "All of them met immeasurable Buddhas in the past, fulfilled the power of vows, and extensively made offerings." Explication: Because there is no text mentioning adornment \[there\], it uses "etc." to include the text of the city spirits. Regarding "Fifth, to make offerings" and so forth: because the meanings are numerous and multilayered, they are cited in general terms. Below "Gāthā praises": the "Wondrous Adornment" chapter. The phrase "flower banners, etc." refers to the twenty-second fascicle, the "Ascending to the Tuṣita Heaven Palace" chapter.
