5.110

"In order to be free..." means: it was feared that hearing the name of dharmatā, one would form a conception of dharmatā. Conception is conceptualization (vikalpa). Because dharmatā is truly wondrous, beyond words and thoughts, although words and thoughts are used provisionally, it corresponds only to direct realization. If one generates [a concept] within the mind, it is merely an image; fearing that one would mistake this for it, it says "is not."
