大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 26.41

26.41

疏「粳米自然生」等，即是上經次文云「大王昇寶位，廣濟諸群生，油雲被八方，普雨皆充洽。」乃翻十惡成十善也。其中翻偷盜云「往昔諸眾生，貧窮少衣服，以草自遮蔽，饑羸如餓鬼。大王既興世，粳米自然生，樹中生妙衣，男女皆嚴飾。」即其事也。

Regarding the Commentary's statement 'non-glutinous rice grows spontaneously' and what follows, this is the subsequent text of the sūtra above: 'When the great king ascended the precious throne, / he broadly delivered all beings; / oily clouds covered the eight directions, / and widespread rains were fully abundant.' This reverses the ten unwholesome deeds into the ten wholesome deeds. Among them, reversing stealing states: 'In the past all sentient beings / were impoverished and had few clothes, / covering themselves with grass, / emaciated with hunger like hungry ghosts. / Once the great king arose in the world, / non-glutinous rice grew spontaneously, / wondrous clothes grew from trees, / and men and women were all adorned.' This is that matter.
