大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 63.7

63.7

Regarding the commentary's phrase "because of leaving behind the eightfold wrongness" and so on: the second explains the name. The Yogācārabhūmi says: "Question: For what reason is it called the eight-limbed noble path? Answer: Because all noble persons in training who have already seen the footprints, by means of the noble path encompassing the eight limbs of practice, can abandon all afflictions without remainder, and can ultimately realize liberation; therefore it is called the eight-limbed noble path." Contrasted with the commentary, this can be understood.
