大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 90.41

90.41

疏「十九一偈攝三種功德」者，約經即極於法界、等虛空界、窮未來際，配三德名。疏文具之，即以實際配於經中窮未來際。然第十九功德，無性云「以上言無中邊相，云何無相？故次明之。極於法界，謂此法界最清淨故。離諸戲論是法界最清淨相，能起等流利益之事，極此法界無有盡期。」第二十等虛空界無盡功德，無性云「謂上作利樂皆無盡故。」此約自利無盡，故論云「謂如虛空經成壞劫性常無盡，如來一切真實功德亦復如是。」其窮未來際云究竟功德者，論云「如未來際無有盡期，如來利他功德亦復如是究竟無盡。」然上二句，無著但云無盡功德等，不言開合。無性開二，故但云「第二十初有一生起，上來且欲將後二偈以為總結，故配三德。」理實後二正是等虛空界窮未來際無盡功德，故疏云「亦是別顯無盡功德」。

Regarding the Commentary's phrase "Nineteen: one verse subsumes three kinds of virtues": according to the sūtra, these correspond to "reaching the limits of the dharmadhātu," "equaling the realm of space," and "exhausting the bounds of the future," matched with the names of the three virtues. The Commentary's text presents them fully, matching bhūtakoṭi with "exhausting the bounds of the future" in the sūtra. However, regarding the nineteenth virtue, Asabhāva says: "Above, it was spoken of as the characteristic of being free from middle and extremes; how then is it non-characteristic? Therefore it is next explained. 'Reaching the limits of the dharmadhātu' means that because this dharmadhātu is most pure, being free from all prapañca is the most pure characteristic of the dharmadhātu, which can give rise to niṣyanda activities of benefit; reaching the limits of this dharmadhātu, it has no end." Regarding the twentieth, inexhaustible virtue equaling the realm of space, Asabhāva says: "It means that the creating of benefit and joy above is entirely inexhaustible." This refers to inexhaustible self-benefit, so the Treatise says: "Just as space, undergoing kalpas of formation and destruction, is by nature constantly inexhaustible, so too are all the real virtues of the Tathāgata." As for "exhausting the bounds of the future" being called ultimate virtue, the Treatise says: "Just as the bounds of the future have no end, so too the Tathāgata's virtues of benefiting others are ultimately inexhaustible." Yet regarding the preceding two lines, Asaṅga merely speaks of inexhaustible virtue and so forth without discussing division or combination. Asabhāva divides them into two, and so merely says: "At the beginning of the twentieth, there is one genesis; the preceding [text] simply intends to take the latter two verses as a general conclusion, and therefore matches them with the three virtues." In truth, the latter two are precisely the inexhaustible virtues equaling the realm of space and exhausting the bounds of the future; hence the Commentary says, "It also distinctly reveals the inexhaustible virtues."
