5.74

"Superiority of the name": the intent of the sūtra's question is: I do not yet know what title this sūtra has? If it has no title, how are we to uphold it? The answering text is evident. The intent of raising the question is: the Tathāgata always preaches that the names and marks of all dharmas are empty; now why specifically establish this name? The explanatory meaning is: what I establish is that a name is immediately non-name; how could a nameless name contradict the meaning of emptiness? For the sake of upholding, a name is merely forcibly established within the nameless.
