大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 68.56

68.56

Regarding the Commentary's 'attaining entry into the superior progress below and advancing toward the subsequent': the sūtra simply states 'because of attaining entry into the conduct of the sovereign mastery of wisdom,' whereas the Śāstra's sūtra text says 'because of attaining entry into the conduct of the sovereign superknowledges of wisdom.' The Śāstra's commentary explains: 'Abhijñā refers to the five superknowledges; jñāna is as explained previously.' Explanation: Like the ten wisdoms of skillful means mentioned before, the upper seventh ground cultivates these ten wisdoms; reaching the eighth ground, they are accomplished without effort. Resembling this ground, it is therefore pointed to. However, the Śāstra's 'superknowledges' are the present 'sovereign mastery'; the Commentary integrates both sūtras, and therefore uses sovereign mastery to point to the ten sovereign masteries, because the ten sovereign masteries are also superknowledges.
