大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 2.22

2.22

疏「尋斯玄旨却覽餘經」下，二對他顯勝，先法、後喻。初法可知。後喻之中，文有二喻：初「其猶杲日麗天，奪眾景之曜」者，即智明映奪喻。初昇謂日，謂之杲日。麗者，著也。此經猶如杲日，杲日既昇，眾景奪曜。景，猶明也，即大明流空，繁星奪曜。斯經大闡，眾典無輝。後「須彌橫海，落群峯之高」者，即高勝難齊喻。須彌即是此經，群峯即是餘經。設七金鐵圍方餘高廣，比妙高之出海，並落其高，以俯望群峯如培塿故。

In the Commentary, from "Exploring these profound purports and then viewing other sūtras" onward, is the second [part], revealing its supremacy by comparison with others, with the doctrine first and the analogies after. The former, the doctrine, is clear. In the analogies that follow, the text has two analogies. First, "It is like the bright sun adorning the sky, eclipsing the radiance of all lights" is the analogy of the brilliance of wisdom outshining [all else]. The sun upon rising is called the bright sun. "Adorning" (li) means attaching to. This sūtra is like the bright sun: once the bright sun has risen, all other lights have their radiance eclipsed. "Lights" (jing) means brilliance; that is, the great brilliance courses across the sky, and the myriad stars have their radiance eclipsed. When this sūtra is grandly expounded, the other scriptures lose their luster. Second, "Mount Sumeru straddling the ocean, surpassing the heights of all peaks" is the analogy of towering supremacy being difficult to equal. Mount Sumeru is this sūtra; the myriad peaks are the other sūtras. Even supposing the seven golden mountains and the Iron Ring Mountains are compared in height and breadth to the Mount of Wondrous Height (Sumeru) emerging from the sea, all their heights are diminished, because looking down upon the myriad peaks, they are like mere anthills.
