大般若波羅蜜多經般若理趣分述讚 3.167

3.167

讚曰：自下第三二段明行得果。於中分二：初無邊無際究竟法門，得二果時廣深一味極殊勝故，自利果德；後甚深理趣無上法門得二果已，自利利他為三界主，隨諸有情所願皆從，利他果德。此即初段。就此初段中文有其三：此即第一總標所說法門之號。於中復二：初說所依、後辨其名。究竟者，最勝義、第一義、無上義、窮極義。無邊者廣，無際者深。此意說言佛身最勝廣深之法。究竟住持法義平等者，究竟者同前釋，住者依止，持者住持，法者能詮文字之教，義者所詮理趣之義。平等者，相似義、不異義。金剛者，堅實義、能破義。謂最勝依止住持教理，不異破壞生死法門，謂法義皆能無邊際等故。又究竟住持，住持一切諸佛法故。法義平等相順無二。金剛法者，能破生死堅實法門。

Commentary: From here down is the third [major division, consisting of] two sections, explaining that practice attains the fruition. This is divided into two: first, the boundless and limitless ultimate dharma gate, because at the time of attaining the two fruitions it is vast, deep, of one taste, and exceedingly sublime, which is the fruitional virtue of self-benefit; and later, the profound guiding principle's unsurpassed dharma gate, after attaining the two fruitions, of benefiting both self and others, becoming the master of the three realms, and following sentient beings' wishes so that all are fulfilled, which is the fruitional virtue of benefiting others. This is the first section. Within this first section, the text has three parts: this is the first, generally indicating the title of the dharma gate expounded. In this there are also two parts: first stating what is relied upon, and later explaining its name. "Ultimate" means most supreme, primary, unsurpassed, and exhausted to the utmost limit. "Boundless" is vast; "limitless" is deep. This means to speak of the most supreme, vast, and deep Dharma of the Buddha's body. As for "the ultimate upholding of the sameness of Dharma and meaning": "ultimate" is explained as before; "up-" means relying upon, and "-holding" means to uphold; "Dharma" is the teaching of the expressing letters; "meaning" is the meaning of the expressed guiding principle. "Sameness" means similar, not different. "Adamantine" means solid and real, and able to destroy. It means the most supreme dharma gate that relies upon and upholds teaching and principle, not different, destroying saṃsāra, because both Dharma and meaning can be boundless, limitless, and so forth. Furthermore, it is "the ultimate upholding" because it upholds all the dharmas of all buddhas. Dharma and meaning are equal, concordant, and non-dual. The "adamantine dharma" is the solid, real dharma gate that is able to destroy saṃsāra.
