新華嚴經論 36.18

36.18

第二推德昇進中，從「如諸菩薩」已下至「辭退而去」可有十六行經，約分五門：一推德於先令善財昇進、二示善知識方所、三舉善知識所居城名曰安住、四舉善知識優婆夷名為不動、五致敬辭退而去。隨文釋義者，有一王都者，明此位是第九法王子菩薩所居，故號王都。凡五位中第九位皆是法王子位，得說法自在。優婆夷者，是清信女也。年已長大，二十已上不嫁自居，修德離俗無染清潔，號優婆夷。名不動者，明此女人自發心來，經閻浮提微塵數劫所生之中，於世五欲及以瞋恨更無所動，名為不動。

In the second part, on deferring to other virtues and advancing forward, from "As all bodhisattvas..." down to "he paid homage, took his leave, and departed," there are about sixteen lines of sūtra text, which are divided into five gates: first, deferring to virtues beforehand and bidding Sudhana advance; second, indicating the kalyāṇamitra's location; third, citing the name of the city where the kalyāṇamitra resides as "Well-Abiding" (Anzhu); fourth, citing the name of the kalyāṇamitra, the upāsikā named Acalā; fifth, paying respects, taking leave, and departing. In explaining the meaning according to the text: that there is a "royal capital" indicates that this stage is the dwelling place of the ninth [stage] Dharma Prince bodhisattva, and hence it is called a "royal capital." Generally, in the five stages, the ninth stage is always the stage of the Dharma Prince, where one attains unhindered mastery in preaching the Dharma. An "upāsikā" is a female lay devotee. Having already grown up, being twenty years of age or older, unmarried and living independently, cultivating virtue, detached from worldly dust, unstained and pure, she is called an "upāsikā." Being named "Acalā" ("Immovable") indicates that ever since this woman first gave rise to the aspiration [for enlightenment], throughout the births she has taken during kalpas as numerous as dust motes in Jambudvīpa, she has never been stirred at all by the five worldly desires or by anger; hence she is named Acalā.
