大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 46.9

46.9

From the Commentary's "These twelve, regarding the Great and Small..." downward, is the second [major section], discerning what is shared and what is restricted. Within it are three parts: first, distinguishing what is shared and restricted between the Great and Small; next, harmonizing them; and finally, discerning the mutual presence and absence among the twelve. First is the initial part. The statement, "The third fascicle of the Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] says that those who protect the Mahāyāna uphold nine divisions," paraphrases the sūtra where it says: "If there is a monk whose provisions for the body are always abundant, who can also protect and uphold the precepts he has received, and who can make the lion's roar to expound the sublime Dharma—namely sūtra, geya, vyākaraṇa, gāthā, udāna, itivṛttaka, jātaka, vaipulya, and adbhutadharma—and broadly expounds these nine divisions of scripture for others for the benefit and peace of all sentient beings," etc. The Commentary's "The first [fascicle] of the Lotus Sūtra" refers to the "Expedient Means Chapter." The second half of the later verse says: "Entering the Great Vehicle is the foundation; / Therefore I speak this scripture." Below, it cites the Yogācārabhūmi, where the Hīnayāna has only eleven. From the Commentary's "However, the various sūtras..." downward, the harmonization may be understood. From the Commentary's "However, sūtras, etc...." downward, it discerns mutual presence and absence; the rest may be understood. Ninth: Upholding the Piṭaka may be understood. Tenth: Eloquence regarding the Piṭaka explains the seven eloquences; the "Ten Grounds [Chapter]" explains them in detail. The fourth assembly is concluded.
