二、譬頗梨、如意,兩珠相似,形類欲同,而頗梨但空,不能雨寶。如意珠,亦空亦雨寶。頗梨,無寶以喻偏空;如意能雨,以喻中道,此就有無合為俗,簡偽顯真。今經體同如意也。
Second, the analogy of crystal and the wish-fulfilling jewel: the two jewels are similar, their forms and kinds almost the same, yet the crystal is merely empty and cannot rain down treasures. The wish-fulfilling jewel is both empty and rains down treasures. The crystal's lack of treasure illustrates biased emptiness; the wish-fulfilling jewel's ability to rain [treasures] illustrates the middle path. This combines existence and non-existence as the conventional to distinguish the false and reveal the true. The substance of the present sūtra is identical to the wish-fulfilling jewel.
