大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 84.37

84.37

The Commentary states: "Its aids to the path...", clarifying the nature of not answering the remaining causal phrases. Above, upāya was answered generally; adding these aids to the path and renunciation, this downward direction generally answers three causes and separately answers five causes. Combined with upāya above, it also generally answers two questions: first, the causes and conditions of past events; second, the stages entered. Thus it fully answers the ten causes. In the upward direction, the question regarding pāramitā is repeated for convenience of meaning.
