The commentary: "I now have no teaching" and so on: as the Original Record says, "Having teaching and having hearing is precisely not-one; having no teaching and no hearing is precisely not-two; being neither one nor two is precisely the primary truth." Ancient commentaries on this text had two explanations. One says: not-one is precisely the two truths: first, the real; second, the conventional. Not-two is precisely the primary truth; because it is neither real nor conventional, it is called the primary truth. The second says: not-one is precisely the differentiated meaning of the two truths; not-two is precisely the non-differentiated meaning of the two truths; there is no third truth outside of the two truths. Now it is explained again: seeing that there is teaching and hearing, being conventional, is not-one; having no mark of teaching and hearing, being real, is not-two. Manifesting mark and non-mark clarifies the one and the two. From here, the third part enjoins listening so that he may explain.
