大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 68.64

68.64

Regarding the Commentary's line beginning 'Yet it says "many"': above, clarifying general transcendence means being non-defiled; below this, clarifying that subtle ones are not yet transcended means being non-pure. From this arises the subsequent meaning of the dual negation. Therefore, the Śāstra first states: 'Residing on this seventh bodhisattva ground, transcending the multitudes of defilements such as excessive desire, because one has not yet reached the ground of retribution'; and then immediately says: 'Therefore, this ground is not called detached.' Clearly, we know this builds upon the preceding to clarify the dual negation.
