大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 89.22

89.22

Regarding the commentary's "Twenty: the syllable ja": the alternate translation renders it ja; it merely gives its meaning. If one reconciles it with the sūtra: having subject and object is the worldly ocean; hence the "Chapter on Samantabhadra's Foremost Accomplishment" says: "Through the power of that which perceives and that which is perceived, all phenomena arise; they quickly cease without pause, every thought-moment being like this." Now, being unapprehendable, it becomes prajñā. The Dazhidulun says: "Hearing the syllable ja, one immediately knows that birth and death in all phenomena cannot be apprehended, because here jātijarā means birth and death."
