大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 89.37

89.37

In the commentary on the thirty-fifth [syllable], 'ṭha' (吒), another translation has the syllable 'ṭha' (姹, rising tone). If correlated with the sūtra, through the accumulation of mindfulness of the Buddha, one is able to see universally. The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: 'If one hears the syllable ṭha (咃), one immediately knows that all phenomena have no dwelling place, because in South India sthāna (咃那) means place.' The explanation says: Mindfulness is itself the place.
