大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 48.5

48.5

疏「然懺名陳露」下，第二釋文，即釋名辨相。四事，即為四段。今初，釋懺悔。先釋名。懺悔二字，古有二釋，今疏即天台釋。亦通漢梵二者，今釋即半梵半漢。懺悔者，梵云懺磨，此云請忍。悔即此方。體是惡作，厭先過失，求請三寶忍受悔過。單云悔者，非是六釋，合二即是依主。此上釋名。二云「除惡業障故須懺也」，此辨懺益，亦懺意也。

Regarding the Commentary's stating from "However, repentance (*kṣamā*) means confession and revelation" onwards: second is explaining the text, which means explaining the names and distinguishing the characteristics. The four matters constitute four sections. Now, the first: explaining repentance. First, explaining the name. For the two characters *chanhui* (repentance), ancient masters had two explanations; the Commentary's present explanation is that of Tiantai. It also combines Chinese and Sanskrit: the present explanation is half Sanskrit and half Chinese. *Chan* in *chanhui* is *kṣama* in Sanskrit, which is translated here as requesting forbearance. *Hui* belongs to this land. Its essence is remorse (kaukṛtya): abhorring past faults, and entreating the Three Jewels to bear with and forgive one's transgressions. To use *hui* alone is not one of the six compound interpretations; combining the two constitutes a tatpuruṣa compound. The above explains the name. Second, stating "Because it eliminates bad karmic obstructions, repentance is required": this distinguishes the benefit of repentance, and is also the purpose of repentance.
