請觀世音菩薩消伏毒害陀羅尼三昧儀 1.41

1.41

我今已具，楊枝淨水，唯願大悲，哀憐攝受。（三說。《輔行》事解云：「以觀音左手把楊枝，右手持澡瓶，是故請者須備二物。」疏云：「此是勸具要因，正為機感也。楊枝拂動，以表慧；淨水澄停，以表定。楊枝又二義：一、拂除，對消義；二、拂打，對伏義。又，拂除，對消滅；二、折伏，即對消除。淨水亦二義：一、洗除，對消義；二、醒悟，對伏義。又四義：一、洗，二、潤漬，三、醒悟，四、安樂。洗，對消滅之消；潤，對消除；醒悟，對降伏之伏；安樂，對平伏之伏。又，洗除對消伏毒害，大悲拔苦，是慧義；潤漬是大慈與樂，是定義；醒悟是慧義；安樂是定義。約十種行人，各作與拔……」等云云。）

"I have now provided willow branches and pure water; I pray only that the Great Compassionate One, with pity and compassion, will receive them." (Recite three times. The Fuxing explains in terms of phenomena: "Because Avalokiteśvara holds a willow branch in the left hand and a water jar in the right hand, the invoker must prepare these two objects." The Commentary says: "This is the essential cause for exhorting provision, precisely for the sake of the capacity and the response. The waving of the willow branch signifies wisdom; the settling of the pure water signifies concentration. Furthermore, the willow branch has two meanings: first, brushing away, corresponding to the meaning of 'eliminating'; second, striking, corresponding to the meaning of 'subduing'. Again, brushing away corresponds to eliminating and extinguishing; second, subduing corresponds to eliminating. The pure water also has two meanings: first, washing away, corresponding to the meaning of 'eliminating'; second, awakening, corresponding to the meaning of 'subduing'. Furthermore, it has four meanings: first, washing; second, moistening; third, awakening; fourth, peace and joy. Washing corresponds to the 'eliminating' of eliminating and extinguishing; moistening corresponds to eliminating; awakening corresponds to the 'subduing' of bringing into submission; peace and joy corresponds to the 'subduing' of calming into submission. Again, washing away corresponds to eliminating and subduing poison and harm, wherein great compassion pulls out suffering, which is the meaning of wisdom; moistening is great benevolence bestowing joy, which is the meaning of concentration; awakening is the meaning of wisdom; peace and joy is the meaning of concentration. In terms of the ten classes of practitioners, each performs bestowing and pulling out..." and so forth.)
