大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 52.58

52.58

Regarding the commentary's "Second, the manifestation of the empowering Buddhas..." and so forth, the commentary's text has two parts: first, briefly explaining the sūtra text; second, below "The above two and three...", explaining according to the treatise. The five passages explaining the text are divided into two within this: first, explaining together, because the second and third equally demonstrate multiplicity; later, separately explaining the fourth. In the former are four: 1. indicating and presenting to demonstrate multiplicity; 2. below "If so, why...", establishing the meaning of multiplicity, first citing the treatise, and below "meaning immeasurable...", the commentary explains; 3. below "If so, merely citing at random...", establishing the number ten; 4. below "Why is it necessary to manifest this multiplicity?", explaining the reason for multiplicity.
