說無垢稱經疏 5.179

5.179

贊曰：現不思議事中，自下第四，鶖子讚揚。有二：初讚室能含容、後讚世界如故。此初文也。問：前變廣博，室已非小，今言小室，何為相違？答：有二解。一、室不變大，以小容大，名為廣博。室不大故，今名為小。二、室變大，略有三解：神力變大，故前言廣；聲聞不測，猶見小室。又昔談今末，故云廣博；今言昔本，所以言小。又理實變大，前言廣博；覩相見小，今言小室，亦不相違。

Commentary: In manifesting acintya events, from here on is the fourth part: Śāriputra's praise. There are two parts: first, praising the room's ability to accommodate; second, praising the world remaining as before. This is the first text. Question: Earlier it was transformed into something expansive, so the room was no longer small; why does it contradict this now by speaking of a "small room"? Answer: There are two interpretations. 1. The room was not transformed into something large; containing the large by means of the small is called "expansive." Because the room was not large, it is now called "small." 2. The room was transformed into something large, for which there are briefly three explanations: It was transformed into something large by spiritual power, hence earlier it was called expansive; the śrāvakas could not fathom it, so they still saw a small room. Again, speaking earlier of the present outcome, it was called expansive; speaking now of its original state, it is called small. Furthermore, in actual principle it was transformed into something large, so earlier it was called expansive; yet regarding its apparent form they saw it as small, so it is now called a small room, which also does not conflict.
