大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 69.54

69.54

疏「小相者」下，散心所知少故名小，定心所知廣故名大。初禪量等四洲，二禪量等小千，三等中千，四等大千，故云乃至，量既遍等，故能遍緣。無量相者，佛智稱事理之實，故無分量。「差別相者是法分齊」者，若言大小，即是分齊。知地堅相、水濕相等，名知自相；同無常等，名知共相。二相皆是法分齊也。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "The small characteristic": because what is known by a scattered mind is small, it is called small; because what is known by a concentrated mind is broad, it is called great. The measure of the first dhyāna is equal to the four continents; the second dhyāna's measure is equal to a small-thousand [world]; the third is equal to a medium-thousand; the fourth is equal to a great-thousand; hence it says "up to." Since the measures are pervasive and equal, it can cognize all pervasively. Regarding the "immeasurable characteristic": the Buddha's wisdom corresponds to the actuality of phenomena and principle, hence there is no quantitative measure. Regarding "The distinct characteristic is the delimitation of phenomena": if one speaks of large and small, that is delimitation. Knowing the solid characteristic of earth, the wet characteristic of water, etc., is called knowing their own characteristics (svalakṣaṇa); sharing impermanence and so forth is called knowing their common characteristics (sāmānyalakṣaṇa). Both characteristics are the delimitations of phenomena.
