大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 38.71

38.71

疏「為上勿亢」者，《周易．乾卦》云「上九，亢龍有悔。」謂亢極則憂悔至焉，桀紂是也。《孝經》云「在醜不諍，則無兵畏。」醜者。背也類也。疏「菩薩入定同佛，不過明以耽其味」者，合上「晝無故不內宴」，晝宴則耽其味，明合上晝。過明者，慧增定少也。言「不昏沈以滯於境」者，合上「夜無故不外寢」，昏沈合夜，滯境合外寢。「無幽不得其味」，合「宴於側室」。「正定不易其心」，合「寢於正處」。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "Being above, do not be overbearing": the Book of Changes, under the hexagram Qian, states: "Top nine: the overbearing dragon has regrets." This means that when extreme arrogance is reached, sorrow and regret arrive; Jie and Zhou are examples of this. The Classic of Filial Piety states: "When one does not quarrel among one's peers, there is no fear of arms." Peers (chou) means companions or fellows. Regarding the commentary's statement, "The bodhisattva's entering samādhi is identical to the Buddha's, not being excessively bright so as to indulge in its relish": this corresponds to the above "having no daytime feast inside without cause"; daytime feasting indulges in its relish, and brightness corresponds to daytime above. "Excessively bright" means that wisdom increases while samādhi is deficient. The statement "not being sluggish so as to stagnate in an object" corresponds to the above "having no nighttime sleeping outside without cause"; sluggishness corresponds to night, and stagnating in an object corresponds to sleeping outside. "No obscurity where its relish is not obtained" corresponds to "feasting in a side chamber". "Correct samādhi not altering one's mind" corresponds to "sleeping in the central quarters".
