維摩經玄疏 1.106

1.106

二、明四悉檀起八萬四千法藏者，八萬四千法藏名義具出三觀大本，今用四悉檀起八萬四千法藏者，即為四別：一者，世界悉檀起八萬四千塵勞門；二，明各各為人悉檀起八萬四千三昧、八萬四千諸陀羅尼也；三，對治悉檀起八萬四千對治門、對治八萬四千諸煩惱也；四，明第一義悉檀起八萬四千法門，亦名八萬四千諸波羅蜜門。「門」名能通，通至第一義悉檀；「諸波羅蜜」名究竟，第一義悉檀即是究竟也。今言「八萬四千法藏」者，法語通漫，即得含於八萬四千煩惱、三昧、陀羅尼、諸對治門及波羅蜜等法，故名「法藏」也。故《大智論》云「是四悉檀攝八萬四千法藏」，其義在焉。

Second, clarifying that the four siddhāntas give rise to the eighty-four thousand dharma-stores: the names and meanings of the eighty-four thousand dharma-stores are fully set forth in the great text on the three contemplations. Now, as for using the four siddhāntas to give rise to the eighty-four thousand dharma-stores, there are four distinctions: first, the worldly siddhānta gives rise to the eighty-four thousand gates of defilement; second, the individual siddhānta gives rise to the eighty-four thousand samādhis and eighty-four thousand dhāraṇīs; third, the therapeutic siddhānta gives rise to the eighty-four thousand therapeutic gates to cure the eighty-four thousand defilements; fourth, the paramārtha siddhānta gives rise to the eighty-four thousand dharma-doors, also called the eighty-four thousand pāramitā doors. "Gate" means capable of leading through, leading through to the paramārtha siddhānta; "pāramitā" means ultimate, and the paramārtha siddhānta is itself ultimate. Now the term "eighty-four thousand dharma-stores" is broad and encompassing, and so it can contain defilements, samādhis, dhāraṇīs, the various therapeutic gates, pāramitās, and other phenomena to the number of eighty-four thousand; hence they are called "dharma-stores." Therefore the Dazhidulun says, "These four siddhāntas subsume the eighty-four thousand dharma-stores"; the meaning lies in this.
