三彌勒經疏 1.208

1.208

經曰「舍利弗我今為汝」以下，第二辨薗泉。言八功德者，一輕、二冷、三軟、四美、五清淨、六不臭、七飲時調適、八飲已無患（少門道善作此說）。今《稱讚淨土經》云「一澄清、二清冷、三甘美、四輕實、五潤澤、六安和、七飲時除飢渴等、八飲已長養根大」也。翠（音主為實他鳥而夫）鵞鴨。香山流水者，《涅槃經》云「香山頂有無熱池，四方流出味甘香」也。一種獲七者，《增一經》云「自然粳米者，初出時及久遠時不同」，故不違也。

From the sūtra's words, "Śāriputra, I now for your sake..." onward is the second, discerning the gardens and springs. As for the eight virtuous qualities, they are: 1. lightness, 2. coolness, 3. softness, 4. deliciousness, 5. purity, 6. freedom from stench, 7. soothing when drunk, and 8. freedom from illness after drinking (the Śramaṇa Daoxian made this statement). Now the *Sūtra in Praise of the Pure Land* (*Chengzan jingtu jing*) says: "1. limpid and pure, 2. cool, 3. sweet and delicious, 4. light and soft, 5. moistening, 6. tranquil, 7. relieving hunger, thirst, and so on when drunk, and 8. nourishing the sensory faculties and great elements after drinking." Kingfishers (翠; pronounced *zhuwei*, actually another kind of bird, like a drake) and wild ducks. Regarding the flowing waters of the Fragrant Mountain, the *Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra* says, "At the peak of the Fragrant Mountain there is Lake Anavatapta, from which water flows out in four directions, sweet and fragrant in taste." Regarding sowing once and harvesting seven times, the *Ekottarika Āgama* says: "As for naturally growing nonglutinous rice, it differs between the initial appearance and a long time thereafter," so they do not contradict.
