大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 78.7

78.7

疏「四中有法乳等三」者，論第三十八云「五想聽法：一如寶、二如眼、三如明、四大果功德、五無罪想。」今云法燈，合明、眼二義。大果即資法身，無罪總明離過。疏「上來略列」下，結釋料揀。於中有四：一總辨名數。言「譯者安置」者，以晉經無數故。二「既不說盡」下，明立理，欲合盈百故。言「既不說盡」者，十蓮華藏塵不可說盡故。三「況此中所列」下，重以理成，合成百義。四「晉經有遺」下，遮其傍救。恐有救云：如大慧百八，豈要圓數？凡立名數，多有所表故。故今通難云：此有九十七，即有所表。晉有九十四，復何所表？昔表為是，今表即非，是故不應生情配屬；若表，亦須成九十八。

Regarding the Commentary's 'within the fourth, there are three such as the milk of the Dharma': the treatise says in the thirty-eighth fascicle: 'There are five notions when listening to the Dharma: first, like a jewel; second, like an eye; third, like light; fourth, the merit of the great fruit; fifth, the notion of faultlessness.' Now, mentioning 'the lamp of the Dharma' combines the two meanings of light and eye. 'The great fruit' nourishes the dharmakāya; 'faultlessness' generally clarifies freedom from error. Regarding the Commentary's text from 'The above has briefly enumerated' onward, it concludes, explains, and discriminates. Within this, there are four points: first, it generally explains the names and numbers. The statement 'arranged by the translator' is because the Jin translation lacks the numbering. Second, from 'Since they are not completely expounded' onward, it clarifies the principle of establishing [them], desiring to match a full hundred. The phrase 'Since they are not completely expounded' refers to the dust motes of the ten lotus-treasuries, which cannot be completely expounded. Third, from 'How much more so what is listed here' onward, it again establishes through reasoning that they combine to form the meaning of a hundred. Fourth, from 'The Jin translation has omissions' onward, it refutes alternative defenses. For fear that someone might defend by saying: 'Like the hundred and eight [questions] of Mahāmati, does it necessarily require a round number?' Generally, establishing names and numbers mostly signifies something; therefore, it now resolves the objection by saying: this text having ninety-seven signifies something; if the Jin text has ninety-four, what does that signify again? If the past signification was correct, the present signification would then be incorrect; therefore, one should not generate subjective views and assign them artificially; if it signifies something, it must also complete ninety-eight.
