次簡示中云「最初之本但本而非迹」等者，最初實成既未垂迹，故唯屬本。中間相望，互為本迹。又中間所成，垂迹之時名為亦迹，顯本之時名為亦本。最後已說，即是今日已說迹門，未顯本時，故唯屬迹，若無已說，即舉今日迹門，今說之本即舉今日本門。

> Next, in distinguishing and showing, where it says "The initial origin is only origin and not traces," etc.: since the initial true attainment did not yet descend traces, it pertains solely to the origin. Looking across the intermediate \[attainments\], they are mutually origin and traces. Moreover, regarding what was attained in the intermediate times, when descending traces it is called also traces; when revealing the origin it is called also origin. What was finally explained in the past is the trace gate already explained today; before revealing the origin, it pertains solely to traces. If there were no past explanation, that cites the trace gate of today; the origin of present explanation cites the origin gate of today.
