維摩經略疏垂裕記 3.79

3.79

二、別釋，三：初、敘意分章。二、依章釋義，五：初、橫約同居。「滿願成佛」，如《法華經》。「量其所居」者，所居眷屬多少也，多則宅大、少則宅小。「修善多少」等者，眾生修善多則莊嚴勝，如彌陀。眾生修善少則莊嚴劣，如釋迦。第三句中「今明菩薩調伏」等者，調伏即次句。準此文意，前之二句並後二句之方便也。故知教化調伏本為佛慧起根。「四隨諸」下，釋起根句，意亦如是。言「起菩薩根」者，既云要因六根起根取土，當知下文光明寂默仙菩薩等，並在同居淨穢二土，以今文中亦且在前二土故也，具如下文。「菩薩行品」者，彼品佛為阿難廣說佛土，謂佛光明、菩薩化人、佛衣服等總十七事。以此四句在於二土，故名為橫；一一別對，故名為竪。

Second, specific explanation, in three [parts]: First, stating the meaning and dividing the sections. Second, explaining the meaning according to the sections, in five [parts]: First, horizontally regarding the Co-dwelling [Land]. "Fulfilling vows and attaining Buddhahood" is like in the *Lotus Sūtra*. Regarding "measuring their residence," it is the number of retinue residing there: if many, the mansion is large; if few, the mansion is small. Regarding "the quantity of good cultivated" and so forth: if sentient beings cultivate much good, the adornments are superior, like Amitābha; if sentient beings cultivate little good, the adornments are inferior, like Śākyamuni. In the third line, regarding "now clarifying the bodhisattva's subduing" and so forth, subduing is the subsequent line. According to the meaning of this text, the preceding two lines are both expedients for the latter two lines. Thus, we know that teaching, transforming, and subduing are originally for the sake of giving rise to the faculties of Buddha-wisdom. From "fourth, according to the various" onward, explaining the line on giving rise to faculties, its meaning is also like this. Regarding "giving rise to the bodhisattva's faculties": since it says one must rely on the six faculties to give rise to faculties and take the land, one should know that the radiant, silent, immortal bodhisattvas and so forth mentioned below are all in both the pure and defiled Co-dwelling lands, because in the present text they are also for now in the preceding two lands, fully as discussed below. Regarding the "Chapter on Bodhisattva Practice," in that chapter, the Buddha extensively explains the Buddha-land for Ānanda, referring to seventeen items in total: the Buddha's radiance, the bodhisattva's transformed persons, the Buddha's robes, and so forth. Because these four lines are situated in the two lands, it is called "horizontal"; matching them one by one individually is called "vertical."
