大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 26.30

26.30

Regarding the commentary's "Those on the seventh ground and below..." and what follows: those who have not departed the three realms refer to direct entrants, because they have not yet discarded fragmented birth and death. "Untainted contemplative wisdom has interruptions" refers to the sixth ground and below; when reaching the seventh ground, contemplation is uninterrupted. According to the *Daśabhūmika-sūtra*, the sixth ground and below are defiled, the eighth ground and above are pure, and the seventh ground is also called the intermediate; it can also be called defiled, can also be called pure, or neither defiled nor pure. Here, taking the meaning of defiled, it is not purely pure.
