大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 78.35

78.35

Regarding the Commentary's stating from "Now, the first: according to the Jin sūtra, it says 'planting one Gaṅgā's sands'" onward: the commentary's text has two parts: first, it generally explains the pure gold net, and afterward, it separately explains the phrase "one Gaṅgā's sands." In the former there are three parts: 1. citing the Sanskrit manuscript of the Jin sūtra to establish the meaning of the jewel net; 2. reiterating the present sūtra; 3. citing the Yingluo [jing] to establish the two sūtras. Now, the first. The phrase "multiple cakravartins": the jewel net is one, and by taking gold nets, lapis lazuli, and many others as equivalent, there is one Gaṅgā's sands. The statement "It is not the many wholesome [roots] of a single cakravartin": this critiques the present sūtra using the old sūtra. It says that planting the wholesome roots of a pure gold net cakravartin [equal to] one Gaṅgā's sands means that a single cakravartin has many wholesome [roots]. The statement "The Sanskrit text is also like this": this uses the Sanskrit text to confirm the Jin sūtra.
