新華嚴經論 36.2

36.2

第二推德昇進門中，自「諸菩薩摩訶薩」已下至「辭退而去」有二十一行半經，於中文義約分五門：一推德昇進、二示善知識方處國土、三示善知識居止處所在河渚中、四舉善知識名號名為自在主、五頂禮致敬辭退而去。從「如諸菩薩」已下，是推德昇進。其中南方義，如初釋。國土號名聞者，依教主立名，為教主有名聞故。河渚中居止者，表戒為河流，必入智海故。童子者，為明戒淨無染，號為童子。名自在主者，為明已從如來法身智果入俗利生，出世入纏、主導眾生皆自在故，以立名也。

In the second [section], the gate of praising virtues and advancing upward, from "All bodhisattva-mahāsattvas" downward to "took his leave and departed" comprises twenty-one and a half lines of the sūtra text. In terms of meaning, this is divided into roughly five gates: first, praising virtues and advancing upward; second, showing the region and country of the kalyāṇamitra; third, showing the dwelling place of the kalyāṇamitra located on a river islet; fourth, bringing forward the name of the kalyāṇamitra as Aniketasūri (Master of Self-Mastery); fifth, bowing in reverent homage, taking leave, and departing. From "As all bodhisattvas..." downward is the praising of virtues and advancing upward. Therein, the meaning of the south is as explained initially. The country named Renown is designated in reference to the master of the teaching, because the master of the teaching possesses renown. Dwelling on a river islet signifies that the precepts are like a river's current, which must inevitably enter the ocean of wisdom. Being a boy (kumāra) clarifies that the precepts are pure and unstained, hence he is called a boy. Being named Aniketasūri (Master of Self-Mastery) clarifies that having already entered the mundane world from the fruit of wisdom of the Tathāgata's dharmakāya to benefit living beings, his emerging from the world and entering worldly entanglements to lead sentient beings are all sovereign and free, and the name is established on this basis.
