大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 36.38

36.38

Below the Commentary's "In order to reveal that the merits of the ten abodes are wondrous and high", this is the third part, concluding the explanation. Within this, there are three points: first, directly concluding the explanation. Next, from "the Four Heavenly Kings dwell halfway up" downward, resolving an implicit objection. That is, an objection says: "If Wondrous-High represents [the abodes], the Four Heavenly Kings also dwell on Wondrous-High; as a sequential order, why do they not dwell here?" Hence this resolution is provided. Later, from "the youth Sudhana" downward, citing precedents as proof.
