2.32

疏「嚴謂飾法成人」者,嚴亦二義:一以萬行飾其本體,即嚴上大方廣。如瑩明鏡,鏡雖本淨,非瑩不明。二以萬行功德成佛果之人,若琢玉成器。又飾本體,似鑄金成像。以行成人,如巧匠成像。

In the Commentary, "'Adornment' means decorating the Dharma and perfecting the person": "adornment" also has two meanings. First, using the myriad practices to decorate its fundamental essence—that is, adorning the "Great, Standard, and Broad" above. This is like polishing a bright mirror: although the mirror is originally pure, without polishing it is not bright. Second, using the meritorious virtues of the myriad practices to perfect the person of the Buddha-fruit, like carving jade into a vessel. Furthermore, decorating the fundamental essence is like casting gold into an image; perfecting the person through practice is like a skillful artisan fashioning an image.
