大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 23.29

23.29

疏「並有生成住持功能故名為地」者，三釋名。此有三義：一能生萬德；二成熟自他；三任持萬德，萬德依住故，如下〈十地〉中明。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "And because it possesses the functions of producing, maturing, and sustaining, it is called a 'ground'": third, explaining the name. Here there are three meanings: 1. It can produce the ten thousand virtues; 2. It matures oneself and others; 3. It sustains the ten thousand virtues, because the ten thousand virtues abide relying upon it, as explained below in the "Ten Grounds [Chapter]."
