大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 63.115

63.115

From the commentary's "Maps and writings" downward: This is the second treatise among the six. "According with what is heard in the world" explains the meaning above, bringing out what is revered. From the commentary's "Furthermore, these maps and writings" downward, explaining again: this is what treatises rely upon in logical science (hetuvidyā). What is relied upon has ten items: what is to be established has two, namely intrinsic nature and distinction; what is capable of establishing has eight, namely thesis (pakṣa), reason (hetu), example (dṛṣṭānta), similar and dissimilar instances, and perception (pratyakṣa), inference (anumāna), and authoritative testimony (āgamapramāṇa). Here this brings out authoritative testimony, and below it also includes perception.
