大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 89.24

89.24

In the commentary on the twenty-second [syllable], 'da' (拕), another translation has the syllable 'dha' (馱). That the meaning must be this is because the seventh also has the syllable 'da' (拕), with the note saying 'as above'. Now, the sūtra speaks of 'selecting aggregates of phenomena', which is the ability to maintain the realm-nature (dhātusvabhāva). The distinctions among the aggregates of phenomena are precisely the meaning of 'realm' (dhātu), each maintaining its own nature. The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: 'If one hears the syllable dha, one knows that the nature of all phenomena (dharma) is ungraspable, because dharma here means phenomenon (dharma).'
