肇論新疏 3.31

3.31

The character *hua* (with fanqie *huo-mai*) represents the sound of tearing silk, an analogy for doubts being broken through. “In abundance” (*wei*) describes luxuriant vegetation. “Profound chamber” refers to ultimate nirvāṇa. The idea is: having encountered the enlightened sovereign's lofty judgment, the veil of doubts was torn asunder, and those who knock at the gate ascended abundantly to the profound chamber. “Truly, this may be called…” below is praise.
