妙法蓮華經玄義 6.123

6.123

四明所詮者，若委論其意，出四教義中，今略引詮意。若說人天乘，詮界內思議之俗，永不詮真。若為漸教人，別說九部、十一部，乃至通十二部者；初、正詮思議之俗諦，傍詮思議之真諦；中、正詮思議之真諦，傍詮思議之俗諦；後、正詮不思議之真諦，傍詮不思議之俗諦也。乃至雙詮不思議之真俗（云云）。若說頓十二部者，正詮不思議之真，傍詮不思議之俗。若說不定者，此則不可定判其詮。

Fourth, clarifying what is signified: if discussing the meaning in full detail, it appears in the *Significance of the Four Teachings*; here we briefly adduce the signified meaning. If expounding the vehicle of humans and devas, it signifies the conceivable conventional [truth] within the realms, never signifying the real. If, for the sake of followers of the gradual teaching, one specifically expounds nine or eleven genres, or even universally expounds twelve genres: in the beginning, it primarily signifies the conceivable conventional truth and secondarily signifies the conceivable real truth; in the middle, it primarily signifies the conceivable real truth and secondarily signifies the conceivable conventional truth; at the end, it primarily signifies the inconceivable real truth and secondarily signifies the inconceivable conventional truth; and further, it dual-signifies both the inconceivable real and conventional truths (and so on). If expounding the sudden twelve genres, it primarily signifies the inconceivable real and secondarily signifies the inconceivable conventional. If expounding the indeterminate, then what is signified cannot be determinately classified.
