大般若波羅蜜多經般若理趣分述讚 3.19

3.19

The Praise states: From here down is the second section, consisting of two textual passages that clarify the dharmas of the realm of practice. In this there are two parts: the first passage is the universally victorious dharma gate of subduing all evils, which subdues all evils through contemplating the real mark; the second passage is the pure dharma gate of the wisdom-seal of sameness, which illuminates through the wisdom of introspective illumination. Now, in this first passage, there are three parts: first, clarifying the designation of the expounded dharma gate. In this there are two: first, clarifying the mark of the relied-upon Tathāgata. This is the first. 'All evil dharmas' means the discriminations of the two obscurations, the discriminations of cause and effect, and the discriminations of defilement and purity; all can be eliminated. 'Śākya' means able; 'muni' means quiescent; he is able to subdue all evils and leave behind all turbulent movement. The dharmas of turbulent movement refer to the dharmas of saṃsāra; hence it is called the mark of the Tathāgata who is able to be quiescent. Relying on this mark of the Tathāgata who subdues all evil dharmas and is able to be quiescent, he expounds this dharma gate.
