大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 87.8

87.8

Regarding the Commentary's statement, "The eighth, King Mahāprabha (Daguang), is assigned to practice difficult to attain," this is because it can only be attained through unobstructed vow-power. Regarding the Commentary's statement, "The causes for the twenty-eight marks are not yet complete," this has not been seen in sūtras or treatises; it should lack the invisible crown and the white curl between the eyebrows (ūrṇā), the Brahmā voice, and the broad and long tongue. According to the comparisons of supremacy in sūtras such as the Shan-sheng jing, thirty marks do not equal the curl mark, and thirty-one do not equal the uṣṇīṣa; all of them combined do not equal the Brahmā voice issuing from the Tathāgata's chest. In principle, one should take twenty-nine marks to compare with the white curl, because one of the thirty is the Brahmā voice. For the broad and long tongue there is no text, but in principle it is simply superior. Examine this.
