涅槃玄義發源機要 4.12

二、「乃卜」下，幽境稱懷勤加補削，二。初、敘幽境。稱懷卜者，《禮記》曰「龜曰卜，蓍曰筮。」古者移居必卜，故《離騷經》有卜居也。《左傳》曰「非宅是卜，唯隣是卜。」今疏主以移居為卜居。安洲，在樂安縣，今仙居縣也。故《僧傳》云「樂安南嶺地曰安洲。」然安洲之名始於疏主，《台州圖經》曰「管竹山在縣東南五里，高二十丈，周回二里，其下舊有潭。唐武德年中，邑人請天台國清寺灌頂尊者講于光明寺。時此潭之魚取者甚眾，尊者率道俗於潭側講《金光明經》，誘漁者令止其採捕。一夕忽暴風雨至，旦視之，乃為洲矣，故號為安洲。以此洲渚在樂安故。」微瀾者，瀾，力旦切，又力安切。《爾雅》曰「河水清且瀾漪。大波為瀾，小波為淪。」絕人獸之蹤者，山深溪隔，故人獸不到。峯連偉括者，謂偉美山及括蒼山也。陶弘景《玉匱》云「括蒼山西南百餘里，有偉美山，狀如宮闕，多靈異，可偉美也。」皇朝《新修圖經》曰「亦名天姥山。」又云「大括蒼嶺在縣西一百八里。」兼二山之美者，謂安洲景象，兼有偉括之好。水鏡者，溪水澄淨，有若明鏡也。蕖池者，謂池有荷花也。《爾雅》曰「荷芙蕖」，郭璞注曰「別名芙蓉，江東呼荷紅。」葩，普巴切，華也。白牙團扇者，《善見律》云「優波離昇座，執象牙裝扇，先集律藏。」萋蒨者，草茂盛貌。加，亦勝也。戴氏重席者，《東觀漢記》「戴憑，字次仲，拜侍中。正旦朝賀，帝會群臣，諸生能說經史者更相詰難，義有不通者輒奪其席以益通者，憑遂坐五十餘席。」今疏主承修竹之風，藉翠草而坐，勝於牙扇重席也。以彼由造作，此任天真，其實勝之，固非誇飾。下云羞繪圖陋絃管，亦爾。雲霞赤白、松桂青黑、雕鏤雜糅，而有五彩之文，則使畫圖有羞色。繪，畫也。猿吟麏叫，蟬噪蛙鳴，相和成韻，似其八音之樂，翻令絲竹成陋聲。故左太沖招隱詩云「非必絲與竹，山水有清音。」麏，居筠切，鹿屬。八音者，《五經通義》曰「金、石、絲、竹、匏、土、革、木也。金為鍾，石為磬，絲為絃，竹為管，匏為笙，土為塤，皮為鼓，木為柷敔。」雅有高致者，竹風草席、畫圖音樂，皆得之於自然，故云高致也。豐趣冥倫者，冥，幽也。倫，人也。謂此高致，豐饒歸趣於我幽人也。倫，亦可作淪，淪，沒也，謂隱沒於山澤也。

Second, from "Then I divined..." onward, the secluded environment suited his wishes and he diligently revised and amended [the commentary], in two parts. First, he describes the secluded environment that suited his wishes. Divining (bu): the Liji says, "Tortoise shells are called bu; yarrow stalks are called shi." In antiquity, moving residence always required divination; hence in the Lisao jing there is the "Divination of Abode" (Bu ju). The Zuo zhuan says, "It is not the house that is divined, but the neighbours." Here the commentator takes moving residence as "divining an abode." Anzhou: located in Le'an County, modern Xianju County. Thus the Biographies of Eminent Monks states, "The land of the south ridge of Le'an is called Anzhou." However, the name Anzhou began with the commentator. The Gazetteer of Taizhou (Taizhou tujing) says, "Guanzhu Mountain is five li southeast of the county seat, twenty zhang high, and two li in circumference; beneath it there was formerly a pool. During the Wude era of the Tang, the townsfolk invited the venerable Guanding of Guoqing Temple on Mount Tiantai to lecture at Guangming Temple. At that time, many people were catching fish from this pool. The venerable master led the monastics and laypeople to the side of the pool to lecture on the Suvarṇaprabhāsa-sūtra, admonishing the fishermen to cease their catching. One night a violent storm suddenly arose; when viewed at dawn, it had become an islet (zhou); hence it was named Anzhou ('Peaceful Islet'), because this islet was in Le'an." Ripples: ripples (lan), pronounced li + dan, or li + an. The Erya says, "The river waters are clear and rippling (lan yi). Large waves are called lan; small ripples are called lun." Cut off from traces of men and beasts: because the mountains were deep and separated by streams, men and beasts did not arrive. Its peaks connect with Weimei and Kuocang: referring to Mount Weimei and Mount Kuocang. Tao Hongjing's Yugui says, "More than a hundred li southwest of Mount Kuocang, there is Mount Weimei; shaped like palace towers, it has many numinous wonders and is truly grand and beautiful (weimei)." The newly revised gazetteer of the present dynasty says, "It is also called Mount Tianmu." It also says, "The Great Kuocang Ridge is one hundred and eight li west of the county seat." Combining the beauty of both mountains: meaning that the scenery of Anzhou combines the virtues of both Weimei and Kuocang. Water mirror: the stream water is clear and pure, resembling a bright mirror. Lotus pond: meaning that the pond has lotus flowers. The Erya says, "The lotus (he) is the fuqu." Guo Pu's commentary says, "Another name is furong; east of the Yangtze it is called hehong." Pa: pronounced pu + ba, meaning blossom. Round fan of white ivory: the Samantapāsādikā (Shanjian lü) says, "Upāli mounted the seat, held an ivory-adorned fan, and first compiled the Vinaya-piṭaka." Luxuriant: the appearance of lush vegetation. Surpassing (jia): also means excelling. Master Dai's multiple mats: the Dongguan Hanji says, "Dai Ping, courtesy name Cizhong, was appointed Palace Attendant. At the New Year's Day court audience, the Emperor assembled his ministers; the scholars who could expound the classics and histories questioned and challenged one another. Whenever someone's understanding was flawed, his mat was seized to be added to that of the one who was versed, until Ping ended up sitting on more than fifty mats." Here the commentator received the breeze through the tall bamboo and sat upon the emerald grass, surpassing the ivory fan and multiple mats. Because the former are artificial while the latter accords with naturalness, this truly surpasses them and is by no means an exaggeration. What follows below, "humbling the painted scrolls and disparaging the stringed and wind instruments," is also like this. With the crimson and white of the clouds and mist, the blue-green and black of the pines and laurels, carved and mingled into five-coloured patterns, it puts painted scrolls to shame. Hui means painting. The gibbons chanting and roe deer calling, the cicadas buzzing and frogs croaking, harmonize in rhythm resembling the music of the eight tones, turning the sounds of silk and bamboo into something crude. Thus Zuo Taichong's poem "Summoning the Recluse" says, "It need not be silk and bamboo; / Mountains and waters have clear tones." Roe deer (jun): pronounced ju + yun, a type of deer. The eight tones: the Wujing tongyi says, "Metal, stone, silk, bamboo, gourd, clay, leather, and wood. Metal makes the bell; stone makes the chiming stone; silk makes the strings; bamboo makes the pipes; gourd makes the mouth organ; clay makes the ocarina; leather makes the drum; and wood makes the clappers." Having a truly lofty tenor: the bamboo breeze, the grass mat, the paintings, and the music are all obtained from nature; hence he speaks of a "lofty tenor." Abundantly delighting the recluse: ming means secluded; lun means person. This means that these lofty tenors abundantly bring delight to me, a secluded person. Lun may also be written as lun (to submerge); here lun means hidden away, referring to being concealed among the mountains and marshes.
