1.263

However, within the refutation there are two parts: first, refuting the physical body; second, refuting the nominal body. The physical body has two aspects: first, the subtle, meaning atomic particles of dust, as in the sūtra: 'Would all the atomic particles of dust be many or not?'; second, refuting the coarse physical body, as in the sūtra: 'All the particles of dust, the Tathāgata says are not particles of dust.' Refuting the nominal body is as the sūtra says: 'A world is not a world.' Because names have no physical form or parts and cannot have coarseness or subtlety, the world is used as an analogy.
