華嚴經疏 1.9

1.9

The Sanskrit letter si resembles a lion squatting; the other meanings are evident. In the verses, the first one and a half verses verse the first section above of the text that generally encourages the exposition. Within this, the first two lines praise the speaker; the next four lines verse the previous skillfully distinguishing the inconceivable dharmas, and so on: namely, the practices of the ten grounds are the practices; the dharmas of the ten grounds entered are the stages entered. Furthermore, the practices of the grounds are prayoga; the dharmas of the wisdom-grounds are the mūlajñāna. Furthermore, the practices of the grounds are the wisdom of giving, morality, and so on; the dharmas of the grounds entered are the ten dharmadhātus of omnipresence and so on. Furthermore, the first is the practice of āgama; entering the dharma of realization in the lower two lines is the fulfillment of the cause attaining the fruit. From "all the ten directions..." onward verses the second text, that the Buddhas by dharma should protect and keep them in mind, and so on. The latter two verses verse the previous third text. Within this, there are dharma, analogy, and application: in the dharma, the first two lines verse the supreme practice, which is the practice of āgama; the next two lines verse attaining the buddhadharmas, which is the practice of realization. The rest of the text is evident. Vimukticandra's request is completed.
