大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 24.28

24.28

Regarding the commentary's statement, "The first two lines are the pervasion of the overall body and overall characteristic," and so forth: there are four lines, namely: first, the overall pervading the overall; second, the overall pervading the particular; third, the particular pervading the particular; and fourth, the particular pervading the overall. Furthermore, that which is pervaded applies generally to the dependent and proper [retributions]; provisionally speaking, that which can pervade is the proper, and that which is pervaded is the dependent. The dependent and proper each have overall and particular: the proper overall is the entire body, and the particular is the eye, ear, up to a single hair. The dependent overall is an entire land, and the particular is a tree, a stone, up to a single speck of dust. The first line merely speaks of sitting peacefully in the kṣetra, hence it is the pervasion of the overall body and overall characteristic. The latter line clarifies that the body pervades the lands within dust specks, which is the overall pervading the particular. As for the commentary's phrase "In the assembly": that is, within the ocean-like great assembly, in order to differentiate from past interpretations, which regarded it as the praise by Pramāṇaghoṣa's retinue, and thus bodhisattvas from within Pramāṇaghoṣa's assembly. Here it is clarified that it is within the ocean-like assembly of the two kinds—new and old.
