16.35

答含有二義。一緣起相由。正約主伴。兼明即入。謂為主須一為伴必多。此一者。是即多之一。一切一也。多是全一之多。一一切也。二力用交徹。一有一切。普賢之身。不可思議。略有三類。一隨類身。隨人天等。見不同故。二漸勝身。乘六牙象等。相莊嚴故。三窮盡法界身。帝網重重。無有盡故。此第三身。含前二身。及無盡身。

Answer: This contains two meanings. 1. Dependent arising through mutual reliance: strictly in terms of host and companion, this also clarifies mutual identification and entry. That is, to be the host there must be one; to be companions there must be many. This 'one' is the one that is immediately many—the all-in-one. The 'many' are the many that are entirely one—the one-in-all. 2. The mutual penetration of power and function: in one there is all. The body of Samantabhadra is inconceivable, and briefly has three categories: 1. the body conforming to category, because what is seen by humans, devas, and so forth is not identical; 2. the gradually superior body, adorned with marks such as riding a six-tusked elephant; 3. the body that exhausts the dharmadhātu, endlessly layered like Indra's net. This third body includes the previous two bodies and the inexhaustible body.
