大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 73.25

73.25

疏「第三法喻對顯」，中二：先明山體、後「若語」下辨其所有。於中二：一直辨所有以況於法、二論以義揀。今初，文並可知。但計都山並大力修羅處者，準經論說，修羅總有五種住處：一在地上、一最居下。最居下者，在於海底，即毘摩質多羅阿修羅王，其力最大統領無量修羅眷屬。次上二萬一千由旬，有阿修羅王，名曰勇健，威勢次劣，亦統無量修羅眷屬。次上二萬一千由旬，有修羅王，名曰花鬘，威勢轉弱，亦統無量修羅眷屬。次上二萬一千由旬，有修羅王，名曰羅睺，勢力最劣，亦統無量修羅眷屬。今此所說，應是彼王最居上者。

Regarding the Commentary's "Third, contrasting and revealing the phenomena and similes," within it are two: first, clarifying the mountains' substances; second, from "if speaking of..." downward, discerning their contents. Within this are two: 1. Directly discerning the contents to compare them to phenomena; 2. The Śāstra distinguishing them by meaning. Now, as for the first, the text is all understandable. But as for Mount Ketu also being the abode of the asuras of great power: according to what the sūtras and treatises say, asuras have five kinds of dwelling places in total: one on the earth, and one at the very bottom. The one at the very bottom is on the ocean floor, namely the asura king Vemacitrin; his power is the greatest, commanding immeasurable retinues of asuras. Twenty-one thousand yojanas above him is an asura king named Valiant; his authority and power are next inferior, and he also commands immeasurable retinues of asuras. Twenty-one thousand yojanas above him is an asura king named Garland; his authority and power are still weaker, and he also commands immeasurable retinues of asuras. Twenty-one thousand yojanas above him is an asura king named Rāhu; his power is the weakest, and he also commands immeasurable retinues of asuras. What is discussed here should be that king who dwells at the very top.
