華嚴略疏卷第三 3.21

3.21

The second is Vajragarbha’s prose and verses. This is the larger recension of the sūtra. According to the treatise’s explanation, although there is prose, it lacks the repeated recitation of the three verses. Within the prose there are two parts: first, accepting that the superior ones without doubt may possibly be capable of hearing; from “delighting in inferior teachings” onwards, the intermediate and inferior have doubt and delusion. Delusion means the mind is bewildered; doubt means hesitation. “I pity these, and therefore remain silent.” In the verses, the first stanza and a half recites acceptance of the superior; the lower stanza and a half recites the doubt and delusion of the intermediate and inferior.
