4.115

述曰:「楞伽」是師子國山名也。言「入」,昔佛入於彼為彼王神說法,故復言入。即十卷《楞迦》第二卷中佛答頌,四卷《楞迦》第一卷中頌:「譬如巨海浪,斯由猛風起。洪波鼓冥豁,無有斷絕時。藏識海亦然,境界風所動,種種諸識浪,騰踊而轉生。」然彼經頌與此稍別,彼言「楞迦」,言不正也。

The Commentary states: 'Laṅkā' is the name of a mountain in Siṃhala (Sri Lanka). 'Entering' means that in the past the Buddha entered there to teach the Dharma to the king of that place and spirits, hence it is called 'entering'. This is the Buddha's answering verse in the second fascicle of the ten-fascicle Laṅkāvatāra, and the verse in the first fascicle of the four-fascicle Laṅkāvatāra: 'Just as waves upon the great sea / arise because of fierce winds; / surging billows stir across the boundless expanse / without ever having a time of cessation; / so too is the ocean of the storehouse consciousness: / stirred by the wind of objects, / waves of the various consciousnesses / surge up and arise in evolution.' However, that sūtra's verse differs slightly from this one; its transliteration 'Lengjia' was not precise.
