大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 35.58

35.58

On the commentary's "Answer: As cited above from the Mahāsaṃnipāta...": Second is the answer, which has three parts: first, pointing to the prior citation to answer; second, citing separate texts to answer; third, comparing this with the supreme perfect interfusion. Now, the first: What was cited above from the Mahāsaṃnipāta states that 'abhiseka' is the tenth abode; hence it says "that [sūtra] speaks of the culmination of the abodes." Thus, in the initial virtuous [stage], one has already attained the eight aspects. Why then cite only the Benevolent Kings [Sūtra], where the three virtuous [stages] lack such a passage?
