仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.499

2.499

解曰：言一切者，為無為法、世出世法，故云一切。言諸名者，名謂表詮。一切諸法隨方萬異，故云諸名。皆假施設者，明不實也。名詮諸法自性之共相，是意長緣，不得法體，故云假也，如《唯識》云「名詮自性」。此何乃云不得法體？說火不燒、說食不飽。若稱法體，應令貧者多說寶藏，故假施設明無實故。從此第二明本無名。

Exposition: 'All' refers to conditioned and unconditioned dharmas, worldly and transmundane dharmas; hence 'all.' 'Names' refers to expressions that signify. All dharmas vary in myriad ways according to place; hence 'all names.' 'Are provisional designations' clarifies that they are unreal. A name expresses the common characteristic of the intrinsic nature of dharmas; it is an extended mental cognition and does not attain the substantial essence of the dharma, so it is called provisional. As Vijñaptimātratā says: 'Names express intrinsic nature.' Why then is it said here not to attain the substantial essence of the dharma? Saying 'fire' does not burn; saying 'food' does not satisfy. If it corresponded to the substantial essence of the dharma, a poor person should frequently say 'treasure trove.' Thus 'provisional designations' clarifies that they lack reality. From this point, the second [part clarifies] that originally there were no names.
