大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 4.43

4.43

疏「或說舍那坐千葉華攝二地說」者，第三通《梵網》等經。彼云「我今盧舍那，方坐蓮華臺。周匝千華上，復現千釋迦。一華百億國，一國一釋迦」等者，即以蓮華臺上為本源盧舍那，千葉釋迦復是大化，一釋迦更有百億方為小化者，亦不言其身充滿一切世間。普賢蓮華有不可說葉，量周法界。十地菩薩之華尚量等百萬三千大千世界，況如來耶？明知亦是他受用身攝二地耳。以二地戒度圓滿，故為說戒。以初地化百佛剎則有百葉之華，二地化千佛剎故華有千葉，若至三地應見萬葉，四地億葉，五地千億，六地百千億，七地萬億那由他，八地百萬三千大千世界微塵數，九地百千萬億阿僧祇國土微塵數，十地不可說百千億那由他佛剎微塵數。據上十地，百萬三千尚猶略說，故知非顯真極之身。

Regarding the Commentary's statement: 'Or where it is said that [Vai]rocana sits on a thousand-petaled flower, this is spoken in terms of gathering the second stage': this is the third, resolving sūtras such as the Brahmajāla. That text says: 'I am now Rocana, sitting on a lotus pedestal. Surrounding me upon a thousand petals, a thousand Śākyas again appear. On each petal are ten billion realms, with one Śākya in each realm,' and so forth. Taking the one on the lotus pedestal as the primal Rocana, the Śākyas on the thousand petals are great transformations, and the one Śākya further having ten billion [emanations] are small transformations. This also does not say that his body pervades all worlds. Samantabhadra's lotus has ineffable petals, its measure pervading the dharmadhātu. The flowers of the bodhisattvas of the ten stages are already equal in measure to a million trichiliocosms, so how much more so the Tathāgata? We clearly know that this is also a sambhogakāya for others' enjoyment gathering the second stage. Because the second stage fulfills the perfection of morality, he expounds the precepts for them. Because on the first stage one transforms a hundred Buddha lands, there is a flower of a hundred petals; on the second stage one transforms a thousand Buddha lands, so the flower has a thousand petals; if arriving at the third stage, one should see ten thousand petals; on the fourth stage, a hundred million petals; on the fifth stage, one thousand billion; on the sixth stage, one hundred thousand billion; on the seventh stage, ten thousand billion nayutas; on the eighth stage, as many as the dust motes of a million trichiliocosms; on the ninth stage, as many as the dust motes of a hundred thousand million asamkhyeya lands; on the tenth stage, as many as the dust motes of ineffable hundreds of thousands of billions of nayutas of Buddha lands. Based on the above ten stages, a million trichiliocosms is still an abbreviated explanation; thus we know this does not reveal the truly ultimate body.
