大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 42.17

42.17

疏「七人者有靈於土木之稱」，即關中生公語，即《智論》意。《瑜伽》名士夫，即十七相中第六。論云「言養育者，謂增長後有業故，能作一切士夫用故。」彼疏釋云「言養育者，令滋茂不斷絕義。業令致果，有士夫用，未來莫窮，故名養育。」釋曰：彼雙釋士夫、養育，文便故引之。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "Seven, 'person' (manuṣya) refers to that which is endowed with spirit in contrast to earth and wood": These are the words of Master Daosheng of Guanzhong, representing the meaning of the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa. In the Yogācārabhūmi it is named "puruṣa" (person/man), which is the sixth among the seventeen marks. That treatise states, "As for 'nurturer' (poṣa), it means increasing the karma of future existence, being able to perform all actions of a puruṣa." Its commentary explains, "As for 'nurturer', it means causing flourishing without interruption. Karma brings about results and possesses the function of a puruṣa, inexhaustible into the future; hence it is called 'nurturer'." Explication: It explains puruṣa and nurturer together, and it is cited here for convenience of text.
