大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 76.12

76.12

Regarding the commentary's "Also including the mirror image": because the text says "although appearing within it," it applies to the mirror image as well, but does not apply to the shadow cast by an archetype, because the shadow cast by an archetype has no appearance within anything. If one takes the shadow of a person's body cast by the sun entering the water, it would also apply, but it is subsumed under the reflection in water.
