大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 54.42

54.42

疏「同說之言文在地相，義兼地體」者，地體最為要勝故。又依論經，初無寄問徵起，釋不怯弱善竟便云「諸佛子！此菩薩十地，是過去未來現在諸佛已說今說當說。」故論先云「復此十地生成佛智住持故，如經『諸佛子此菩薩十地』等。」方牒向前所引經文，明是三世同說地體六決定也。

The Commentary's words, "The statement 'spoken in common' appears textually under the characteristics of the ground, yet its meaning extends to the essence of the ground," mean that the essence of the ground is the most essential and superior. Furthermore, according to the treatise-sūtra, initially there is no rhetorical question to introduce it; after explaining non-timorous good [determination], it immediately says: "Sons of the Buddha! These ten grounds of the bodhisattva have been spoken, are spoken, and will be spoken by past, future, and present Buddhas." Therefore, the treatise first says, "Furthermore, because these ten grounds generate and accomplish the Buddha-cognition and uphold it, as the sūtra states: 'Sons of the Buddha! These ten grounds of the bodhisattva,' etc." Only then does it take up the sūtra passage cited previously, clarifying that the six determinations of the essence of the ground are spoken in common by [the Buddhas of] the three periods of time.
