大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 18.3

18.3

Regarding the Commentary's "Now, first, the vessel world" and so forth: this is the second part, specifically explaining the vessel world. Within the text there are five parts: first, a general outline. Second, from "However, as for these various adornments" downward, showing the protocol of explanation, meaning that each has three aspects. Third, from "However, sometimes a single cause" downward, resolving an objection, which is that someone asks: Since cause and effect are completely interpenetrating, why are they specifically attributed to causes in terms of what they express? Thus it is now explained: in reality, the four propositions are complete; but in terms of what is expressed, they are separately assigned to causes, yet universal and particular are unobstructed. Fourth, from "However, each contains the inexhaustible" downward, giving a general outline of four matters.
