2.316

述曰,此第二也。世親云,但寄微塵為喻,非如言而有實,如衛世師等所執微塵也。「佛說微塵眾」者,謂寄微塵以喻化身也,「則非微塵」者,非如外道等所執實微塵也。

The commentary states: This is the second [part]. Vasubandhu says: It merely borrows fine dust as a metaphor; it is not that they are real in accordance with the words, like the fine dust particles clung to by the Vaiśeṣikas and others. “What the Buddha speaks of as a collection of fine dust particles” refers to borrowing fine dust to serve as a metaphor for the manifestation body; “is not fine dust” means it is not like the real fine dust particles clung to by non-Buddhists and others.
