大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 5.20

5.20

From the commentary's 'Empowerment is of two kinds' downward, the fourth point distinguishes the types according to category. Within this are two parts: first, revealing the distinction; second, pointing to the text. In the former, showing that there are three karmas: oral karma exhorts speech to benefit eloquence; mental karma secretly empowers to benefit cognition; physical karma rubs the crown of the head to augment authority. However, although mental [karma] granting cognition is secret, because it is simultaneous with physical and verbal [karma], these two are manifest; following the majority over the minority, all three are termed 'manifest'. Secret [empowerment] grants only cognition, and thus there is a difference.
