大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 89.31

89.31

In the commentary on the twenty-ninth [syllable], 'bha' (婆, pronounced with rising tone and lengthened), from 'the words of perfection' downward, it correlates it with the sūtra. The reason Xingshan translated it as 'bodhimaṇḍa' is that he stated: 'Pronouncing the syllable bha, one enters the door of the perfection of wisdom that is the adornment of all palace-bodhimaṇḍas. This is because Sanskrit maṇḍala encompasses both meanings of perfection and bodhimaṇḍa.' The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: 'If one hears the syllable bha, one fully understands that the destructible characteristic of all phenomena is ungraspable, because bhagna (婆伽) here means broken.' The explanation says: In the sūtra, the adornment of the palaces, because it arises from conditions, is also destructible; because it is ungraspable, it is non-adornment, and only then is it fulfilled as perfection and accomplishes wisdom (prajñā). From 'However, this bha...' downward, it reconciles the textual reading, meaning that in accordance with the various sūtras, it is mostly in the departing tone.
