大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 89.35

89.35

In the commentary on the thirty-third [syllable], 'tsa' (縒), another translation has the syllable 'tsva' (哆婆). If correlated with the sūtra, only the courageous can cultivate and enter into merit. The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: 'If one hears the syllable tsa, one immediately knows that all phenomena are without stinginess and without giving, because matsara (末縒羅) here means stinginess.' The explanation says: Freedom from stinginess is the most courageous; giving is the head of practices, and because one acts with courage, it is singled out for discussion.
