大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 54.57

54.57

疏「令眾生解」下，釋上顯法之意，便成第三請說相成之義。此中正明以請起說。然下說中意義有二：一者明行、二者明說。今請對彼亦有二義：一對彼後行，命其起行。若不正解，後行顛倒隨聲取著，行亦謬故，正今文意。二望後教亦為起教，眾有謬解，剛藏不說故。上辨起說意。云何以說成此請耶？以後說因分行相，言教詮表，顯斯地體真實離相。今明請意，故略不論說能成請。

From the commentary’s "Causing the assembly to generate understanding" downward explains the intent of revealing the Dharma above, directly completing the third meaning: the mutual accomplishment of request and exposition. Here it directly clarifies initiating the exposition by means of the request. However, in the exposition below, there are two meanings: first, clarifying practice; second, clarifying exposition. The present request relative to that also has two meanings: first, relative to those subsequent practices, urging them to initiate practice. If they do not understand correctly, subsequent practice will be inverted, clinging to words according to sound, and practice will also be erroneous; this is precisely the intent of the present text. Second, looking ahead to the subsequent teaching, it also serves to initiate the teaching; if the assembly holds erroneous understanding, Vajragarbha will not expound. Above, the intent of initiating the exposition has been discriminated. How does the exposition accomplish this request? Because the subsequent exposition of the causal portion's practice characteristics uses verbal teachings to express and denote, revealing this essence of the grounds as truly free from characteristics. Since we are now clarifying the intent of the request, we briefly omit discussing that the exposition can accomplish the request.
