大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 77.28

77.28

Regarding the commentary's words, "The latter four separately reveal the Buddha's virtues": this is the commentary's new interpretation, intending to use five chapters to answer those ten questions. However, there are three layers:
First, this chapter generally clarifies the Buddha's virtues, fully answering the ten questions, as analyzed below;
Second, within each individual gate, answering the ten questions is implicitly contained, also as explained below;
Third, the five chapters extensively answer the ten questions, as at the beginning of the explanation section below.
From the commentary's "Ancient worthies regarded the latter two chapters" downward, it recounts the past: the commentary temporarily recounts the ancient convenience and divides the sūtra according to the three chapters.
