○三、會通秦譯經本。夢幻泡影空理全彰,露、電二喻無常足顯,悟真空則不住諸相,觀生滅則警策修行,妙符破相之宗,巧示亡情之觀。○魏譯九喻,秦本略者,以星燈有體,雲種含生,恐難契空心,潛滋相想,取意之譯,妙在茲焉。

Third, harmonizing this with the Qin translation of the sūtra text. With dream, illusion, bubble, and shadow, the principle of emptiness is fully illuminated; with the two similes of dew and lightning, impermanence is sufficiently revealed. Awakening to true emptiness, one does not abide in any marks; contemplating arising and ceasing, one stimulates one's practice. They wondrously accord with the principle of shattering marks, and skillfully reveal the contemplation that extinguishes mental graspings. / The Wei translation has nine similes, whereas the Qin text abbreviates them, because stars and lamps have tangible substance, and clouds and seeds harbor life; fearing it would be difficult to accord with the mind of emptiness and that thoughts of marks would secretly grow, [Kumārajīva] translated according to the underlying meaning, and the wonder lies right here.
