大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 53.14

53.14

Regarding the commentary’s “Eighth: the contrast between one’s own stage and superior progress” and so forth: citing the text which says “below, praising Vajragarbha's two powers and wondrous wisdom: the wondrous wisdom and eloquence are called the power of realization, while firmly keeping in mind the teaching is the teaching (āgama)”: this refers to the sūtra in the assembly's request, which says: “Supreme, wondrous, immaculate wisdom, / Boundless discriminating eloquence, / Proclaiming deep, lovely words, / In accordance with the ultimate truth, / Mindfully upholding pure practice.” The first four lines praise realization, while “mindfully upholding pure practice” praises the teaching. The treatise says: “The first verse praises the accomplishment of the eloquence of the power of realization. The first line of the second verse praises the accomplishment of the eloquence of the power of the teaching (āgama). Because of the power of realization and the power of the teaching, he is able to expound; therefore he is praised.” This is it.
