大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 84.63

84.63

In the commentary, "and the eleven clauses from the great assembly of bodhisattvas onward" refers to: 1. the great assembly of bodhisattvas, 2. the bodhisattvas' universal entry, 3. the bodhisattvas' universal reaching, 4. universal visiting, 5. supernatural transformations, 6. playful sport, 7. retinue, 8. directions and locations, 9. the adorned lion throne, 10. palaces, and 11. dwelling places of the bodhisattvas. In the present text, dreaming of going to Mount Sumeru is universal reaching, universal visiting, and universal entry; the palaces such as the great city of Sudarśana are the palaces of the bodhisattvas; the cities, ponds, parks, and groves are the dwelling places; the devaputras and devakanyās are the retinue; blooming flowers and playing music are the supernatural transformations; singing, chanting, and amusement are the playful sport; and residing, stopping, and circumambulating entail the presence of thrones.
