大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 89.3

89.3

疏「二多者」，此牒經也。「彼經第二」下，疏有五：一依《五字》釋。二「今云多」下，案今多釋。三「如即無邊差別」者，會經也。四「應是譯人」下，會釋偏正。言「字形相近」者，今示二梵之形：多𭙉囉𭘂。此二小近，聲相濫者，同疊韻故。五「若順無塵」下，正以囉字會釋經文，以諸經字義第二多同故。《大品》云「囉字，悟一切法離塵垢故。」《放光》云「二囉者，垢貌，於諸法無有塵。」《光讚》云「是囉之門，法離塵垢。」《金剛頂》云「囉者，一切法離故。」《涅槃》云「囉者，能壞貪瞋癡，說真實法，亦壞塵垢義。」《智論》云「若聞囉字，即隨義知一切法離垢相，以囉闍此言垢故。」以上諸經皆第二囉字同離垢義，故無惑矣。

In the commentary, “Second, da,” this states the sūtra. From “The second of that sūtra…” onward, the commentary has five parts: 1. explaining according to the Five Syllables [Sūtra]; 2. from “Now saying da…” onward, examining and explaining the present da; 3. “Such as, namely, boundless differences,” which reconciles it with the sūtra; 4. from “It should be that the translator…” onward, reconciling the aberrant and correct forms. Regarding “the shapes of the characters being close,” we now demonstrate the two Indic shapes: da [𭙉] and ra [𭘂]. These two are slightly close, and their sounds are easily confused because they share a rhyming ending. 5. From “If one follows being free from defilement…” onward, it properly reconciles and explains the sūtra text by means of the syllable ra, because across the various sūtras the meaning of the second syllable is mostly identical. The Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā states: “The syllable ra, because one awakens to all phenomena being free from defilements and impurities.” The Fangguang states: “Second, ra is the appearance of impurity; in all phenomena there is no defilement.” The Guangzan states: “It is the gate of ra: phenomena are free from defilements and impurities.” The Vajraśekhara states: “Ra, because all phenomena are free [from defilement].” The Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] states: “Ra can destroy greed, anger, and delusion, speaking the true Dharma, and also has the meaning of destroying defilements and impurities.” The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: “If one hears the syllable ra, one immediately follows its meaning and knows the characteristic of all phenomena being free from impurities, because rajas means ‘impurity’ in this language.” In the above sūtras, the second syllable ra consistently shares the meaning of being free from impurities; therefore, there is no doubt.
