### [3.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.67)

釋曰：第四、二偈顯無我理。於中，初之二句明心識無我假依四大，次二句明其心識妄計四大以為我所，次一句明色身無我，次一句明其色身非我所住；後有二句，舉前無我類國無我。又解：初有一偈半明身無我，下之二句牒無我說國亦無。前中初偈明心是苦以影無我，就中上半正明心神無形。此明心神無有形段，假我四蛇，依止不安，所以是苦。所依四大，互相違反，從喻名蛇。下明痴者，保為樂車。自下半偈用彼無常以顯無我。形無常主，明形無常。神無常家，明神無常。下牒況國形神當離，牒前段中後之半偈，豈有國耶？況國亦無。

> Explanation: Fourth, two verses reveal the principle of non-self. Within this, the first two lines explain that the conscious mind is non-self, relying provisionally on the four great elements; the next two lines explain that the conscious mind falsely imagines the four great elements to be "mine"; the next line explains that the form body is non-self; the next line explains that the form body is not an abode belonging to a self; and the final two lines invoke the aforementioned non-self to analogize the non-self of kingdoms.  
> Another explanation: the first one and a half verses explain that the body is non-self, and the two lines below take up non-self to say that kingdoms are also non-existent. In the former, the first verse explains that the mind is suffering in order to foreshadow non-self. Within it, the first half directly explains that the mental spirit has no form. This explains that the mental spirit has no physical form or segments, provisionally calling the four snakes "self," relying on them unpeacefully, which is why it is suffering. The four great elements that are relied upon contradict each other, and by metaphor are called snakes. Below, it explains that fools treasure them as a chariot of joy. From the half verse below onward, impermanence is used to reveal non-self. "Form has no permanent master" explains that form is impermanent. "The spirit has no permanent home" explains that the spirit is impermanent. Below, it takes this up to compare it to a kingdom: "form and spirit shall part" takes up the latter half-verse from the preceding section; "how could there be a kingdom?" compares it to show that a kingdom is also non-existent.
