大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 44.38

44.38

Regarding the commentary's "Eighth: under 'firmly abiding'" in the eight verses, the statement "restates the ten phrases such as 'most supreme'" means that among them, the first phrase restates vast understanding, and the next two phrases restate definitive understanding; the second verse, excluding the single phrase on mindful protection, restates the remaining seven phrases; the last two verses restate the Buddha's mindful protection, clarifying that seeing [the Buddha] results in obtaining mindful protection. Second, in the three verses under "immeasurable" that restate personal practice, the first verse refers to being able to overturn saṃsāra of many kalpas, while the latter two refer to seeing not being in vain. The first verse explains the fruit of not being in vain; the latter verse explains the cause of not being in vain, because one never tires of seeing the Buddha.
