69.56

疏「斯即楞伽責所不問」者，謂大慧菩薩發一百八問云「我名為大慧，通達於大乘。今以百八義，仰諮尊中上。」下問云：「云何淨其念？云何念念增長」等。列問竟，佛讚善，牒問竟，然後責其所問不盡，云：「諸須彌山地，巨海日月量，下中上眾生，身各幾微塵？一一剎幾塵，弓弓數有幾，肘步拘樓舍，半由旬由旬，乃至云是等所應謂，何須問餘事。聲聞辟支佛，佛及最勝子，身各有幾數，何故不問此？」釋曰：此即責所不問也。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "This is precisely the Laṅkāvatāra's reproach of what was not asked": this refers to Bodhisattva Mahāmati raising one hundred and eight questions, saying: "My name is Mahāmati, / thoroughly versed in the Great Vehicle. / Now with one hundred and eight topics, / I respectfully inquire of the Supreme among Honoured Ones." Below he asks: "How is one's mindfulness purified? / How does it increase thought by thought?", etc. Having listed the questions, the Buddha praised him as excellent, took up the questions, and then reproached him for not asking exhaustively, saying: "The Sumeru mountains and earth, / the measurements of the great oceans, suns, and moons, / sentient beings of lower, middle, and upper [realms]— / how many atomic particles are in each of their bodies? / How many dust particles are in each realm? / How many bows are there in number? / In a cubit, a pace, a krośa, / a half-yojana, and a yojana? / Up to saying: These are what should be spoken of, / why must you ask about other matters? / Śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, / Buddhas, and the Supreme Sons: / how many are there in each of their bodies? / Why do you not ask about this?" Explication: This is precisely reproaching what was not asked.
