大毘盧遮那經供養次第法疏 2.8

2.8

據別說中，初段略明能觀心所住處，及所觀本尊所住處。第二段中有五門：初三頌及三真言者，是世界成就門。二「是輪如金剛乃至阿字置其中」者，是莊嚴道場門。三「次當轉阿字乃至自然髮髻冠」者，是成畫大日門。四「若釋迦牟尼乃至真言者所居」者，是成畫釋迦門。五「若持妙吉祥乃至瞞字」者，是成畫文殊門。初門，最初於下位者，能成世界之風輪也。彼風輪者，訶字所初安半月之輪也。黑光焰流布者，則是訶字光也。於訶字真言門中，訶字是菩提幢，亦是自在力，猶若大將能破怨敵故。又訶字是菩提心寶，猶如摩尼寶王，能滿一切希願。次上者，能成世界水輪也。安水輪者，嚩字所安滿月輪也。雪乳者，滿月色也。頗胝月電光者，縛字色也。嚩字是諸法離言說義。若是戲論言說所行處，悉皆可破可轉，無有堅固。何故諸法離言說？以生不可得故。何故生不可得？以自性清淨故。自性清淨，即金剛薩埵身，故堅固不壞，百非所不能干也。復於水輪上者，地輪也。金剛輪者，阿字所安四方輪也。本初字者，阿字也。黃色者，阿字色也。

According to the detailed explanation, the first section briefly explains the dwelling place of the contemplating mind and the dwelling place of the contemplated iṣṭadevatā. In the second section, there are five sections: the first three verses and three mantras constitute the section on the perfection of the world. The second, from 'this wheel is like a vajra' down to 'placing the letter A within it,' constitutes the section on adorning the bodhimaṇḍa. The third, from 'next, one should transform the letter A' down to 'a spontaneous crown of topknots,' constitutes the section on the depiction of Mahāvairocana. The fourth, from 'if Śākyamuni' down to 'where the mantrin resides,' constitutes the section on the depiction of Śākyamuni. The fifth, from 'if holding Mañjuśrī' down to 'the letter MAṂ,' constitutes the section on the depiction of Mañjuśrī. In the first section, 'first in the lower station' refers to the wind-mandala that can accomplish the world. That wind-mandala is the half-moon wheel first established by the letter HA. 'Flames of black light spreading out' refers to the light of the letter HA. In the mantra-gate of the letter HA, the letter HA is the banner of bodhi, and is also the sovereign power, like a great general capable of destroying enemies. Moreover, the letter HA is the jewel of the bodhicitta, like the mani jewel-king, capable of fulfilling all desires. Next above is the water-mandala that can accomplish the world. The establishment of the water-mandala is the full-moon wheel established by the letter VA. 'Snow and milk' refers to the color of the full moon. 'Crystal, moon, and lightning light' refers to the color of the letter VA. The letter VA signifies that all dharmas transcend speech. Whatever is the sphere of conceptual elaboration and speech can entirely be broken and overturned; it has no firmness. Why do all dharmas transcend speech? Because arising cannot be obtained. Why can arising not be obtained? Because their intrinsic nature is pure. Pure intrinsic nature is the very body of Vajrasattva; hence it is firm and indestructible, and the hundred negations cannot disturb it. Furthermore, above the water-mandala is the earth-mandala. The vajra-mandala is the square wheel established by the letter A. 'The original letter' is the letter A. 'Yellow color' is the color of the letter A.
