大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 32.20

32.20

Regarding the commentary's statement, "If one can truly apprehend this conjunction," fourthly, it concludes by exhorting practice and study, preventing one-sided attachments. Above, the general meaning has been clarified; next comes the formal explanation of the text. The commentary states, "First, answering by what cause [there are] various kinds, this has two senses": this indicates the topic. That is to say, this single verse contains, among the four causes, the second, the perfuming of the eight consciousnesses, and the third, having no fixed nature.
