大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 50.5

50.5

疏「纖長者量」等者，直就事說。若約相好，纖長是相，即三十二中第三相。圓𦟛是第二好，赤銅是第一好，能攝者持法界故，亦第五十三好。言隨好者總指，由此一句別詺文為力為色等。亦《瑜伽》二十指皆殊妙為二十隨好也。「齊等者不參差」，即第三隨好，云各等無差。「輪相等」，即第八十隨好。上說八十世尊手足及胸臆前俱有吉祥喜旋德相，文同綺畫，色類丹珠，裏面皆有。「本那伽吒」者，此云滿瓶。「塞縛悉底迦」，此云有樂。故云「圓滿之言應言滿瓶，右旋之言應云有樂。」其右旋，梵云難提迦物多故。「若準觀佛三昧海經」者，即第一經〈觀相品〉。疏「赤銅」者，即是小相。好，即第一隨好。言「事爪則不染塵垢」者，亦第一好。又第一好云「一世尊指爪狹長薄潤光潔鮮淨，如赤銅色」，故具此二。疏「般若波羅蜜猶如大火聚」，即龍樹讚《般若》，至勝熱處當廣引釋。

Regarding the commentary's phrase "slender and long refers to the measure" and so forth: this speaks directly in terms of phenomena. If explained according to the marks and minor characteristics, "slender and long" is a mark, namely the third of the thirty-two marks. Rounded and tapering is the second minor characteristic; copper-red is the first minor characteristic; being able to gather together is because it upholds the dharmadhātu, and is also the fifty-third minor characteristic. Saying "minor characteristics" refers to them generally; from this one phrase, the text is differentiated into power, color, and so forth. Also, in the Yogācāra[-bhūmi], all twenty fingers and toes being exceptionally wondrous constitutes twenty minor characteristics. "Level and equal means not uneven" is precisely the third minor characteristic, which states: "each equal without difference." "Wheel mark and so forth" is precisely the eightieth minor characteristic. The above states: the eightieth is that the World-Honoured One's hands, feet, and the front of his chest all have the virtuous mark of the auspicious joy-swirling [svastika], patterned like fine embroidery, colored like vermilion pearls, present on both the interior and exterior. "Pūrṇaghaṭa" means here "full vase." "Svastika" means here "having joy." Therefore it says: "For the term 'complete and round,' one should say 'full vase'; for the term 'turning to the right,' one should say 'having joy.'" Its turning to the right is in Sanskrit nandikāvarta. "According to the Sūtra on the Ocean of Samādhi of Contemplating the Buddha" refers to the first fascicle, "Chapter on Contemplating the Marks." In the commentary, "copper-red" is precisely a minor mark. The minor characteristic is precisely the first minor characteristic. Saying "in terms of phenomena, the nails are not stained by dust and dirt" is also the first minor characteristic. Furthermore, the first minor characteristic states: "First, the World-Honoured One's fingernails are narrow, long, thin, lustrous, bright, clean, fresh, and pure, like copper-red color"; hence it possesses both of these. Regarding the commentary's phrase "prajñāpāramitā is like a great mass of fire": this is Nāgārjuna's praise of prajñā, which will be extensively cited and explained when arriving at [the section on] Jayoṣmīya.
