Vasubandhu's explanation means: [When one has] false grasping, there is something attained. When the Tathāgata in the presence of the Buddha Dīpaṅkara generated the aspiration [for enlightenment] and realized the principle of the two emptinesses of person and phenomena, regarding that which is grasped there was nothing attained whatsoever; yet, through non-attainment, bodhi was attained. As for the question 'is there any phenomenon by which [the Tathāgata] attained bodhi?', it means asking Subhūti: In the true principle, is there any phenomenon by which bodhi is attained, or not?
