大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 55.12

55.12

Regarding the Commentary's statement "eliminates the preceding doubt and distress": because previously seeing the silence generated doubt, and doubt leads to distress of mind; moreover, having requested [the teaching] but it not yet being spoken, the mind was still doubtful and distressed. Therefore it is eliminated to cause the mind to attain joy. However, the "great wisdom and fearlessness" is the compiler of the sūtra capturing the intention of that time to praise and recount the speaker; hence the treatise master uses this to accomplish the preceding general making of their minds joyful.
