17.3

次更約如意為譬,亦二,先釋,次結。釋中亦是如意名同,如二空名同,故云含中真諦簡也。與前二象大意不殊,今重顯耳。向借二喻,並約教道,故分二象及以二珠;此中約理,理本無二,由機緣取,致有真中。故知真中本同一實,故喻如意珠體不殊。此重約前別圓入通,真諦之中含二中者,人有得失,非理爾也。雖復重約如意為譬,同成第二珠譬義耳。

Next, in further taking the wish-fulfilling [jewel] as a simile, there are also two parts: first, the explanation; next, the conclusion. In the explanation, the name wish-fulfilling is also the same, just as the names of the two emptinesses are the same; hence it says elimination by the true truth containing the middle. The general meaning is not different from the previous two elephants; it is now shown once more. The previous two similes borrowed were both in terms of the pedagogical path, hence dividing into two elephants and two jewels; here it is in terms of principle: principle is originally without duality, but due to the grasp of the capacities and conditions, it leads to the true and the middle. Hence one knows that the true and the middle are originally the same single reality, so it illustrates that the substance of the wish-fulfilling jewel does not differ. This re-applies the previous entering of the Shared by the Separate and Perfect: regarding the true truth containing two middles, people have gain and loss, but the principle is not so. Although it reiterates taking the wish-fulfilling [jewel] as a simile, it equally completes the meaning of the second simile of the jewels.
