76.6

疏「二能現中亦有通別」等者,疏文有二:先通辨文旨、後別開喻旨。今初。言「別喻機感及應現處」者,日月既喻菩薩,則水等喻機,亦喻菩薩應處。如影落百川,喻菩薩身充遍法界。百川江河,喻機及所現國土之處也。

Regarding the commentary's "Second, within that which manifests there are also general and specific" and so on: the commentary text has two parts. First, it explains the general tenor of the text; second, it distinguishes and unfolds the meaning of the metaphors. Now to the first. The phrase "Specifically illustrating the capacity of beings to respond and the places of responsive manifestation": since the sun and moon illustrate the bodhisattva, the water and so forth illustrate the receptivity of beings, and also illustrate the places of the bodhisattva's response. Just as a shadow falls upon a hundred rivers, illustrating the bodhisattva's body pervading the dharmadhātu, the hundred rivers and streams illustrate the beings' receptivity and the lands where manifestation occurs.
