大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 53.34

53.34

疏「論云」下，三引論釋。從「智處二義」即，疏釋論二義，亦順上高大二義。一即就攝報之身，智便自在故。〈賢首品〉云「摩醯首羅智自在，大海龍王降雨時，悉能分別數其滴，於一念中皆辯了。」即其文也。然此天何以為智處耶？以下天定少、四空定多，以四禪中定慧均等，色界中極故。又約二乘之人，多以無漏之智熏習禪定故。

Regarding the commentary's: "The treatise states" onward: third, quoting the treatise to explain. From "the two meanings of locus of cognition", the commentary explains the two meanings in the treatise, which also accord with the two meanings of lofty and great above. First, in terms of the body of received retribution, cognition is then sovereign. The "Xianshou Chapter" states: "Maheśvara's cognition is sovereign; when the dragon king of the great ocean sends down rain, he can discern and count all its drops, clearly comprehending them in a single instant of thought." This is that text. Why, then, is this heaven a locus of cognition? Because the lower heavens have little meditative absorption, and the four formless [heavens] have much meditative absorption; within the fourth dhyāna, meditative absorption and wisdom are equal and balanced, and it is the culmination within the form realm. Moreover, it is in terms of the people of the two vehicles mostly perfuming meditative absorption with undefiled cognition.
