3.85

從「成就甚深」下,雙結諸佛二智。稱理究竟故言成就,到彼岸底故言甚深,此結成實智也;稱機適會故言隨宜,非七方便所知故言難解,此結成權智也。隨情則翳理,故言難解;了義故意顯,故言易知。《攝大乘》云:「了義經依文判義,不了義經依義判文」,即斯義也。有時解「成就甚深未曾有法」,結自行權實,「隨宜所說意趣難解」,結化他權實(云云)。

From 'Achieved the profound' downward, it concludes the paired two wisdoms of all Buddhas. Corresponding to principle ultimately, it says 'achieved'; reaching the base of the other shore, it says 'profound': this concludes real wisdom. Corresponding to capacity and adapting suitably, it says 'according to what is appropriate'; not being known by the seven expedient means, it says 'difficult to understand': this concludes expedient wisdom. Conforming to sentiment obscures principle, hence it says 'difficult to understand'; because it is the definitive meaning the intention is manifest, hence it says 'easy to understand'. The Mahāyānasaṃgraha says: 'In definitive sūtras one determines the meaning relying on the text; in non-definitive sūtras one determines the text relying on the meaning'—this is precisely that meaning. Sometimes it is explained: 'Achieved the profound, unprecedented Dharma' concludes the expedient and real of own-practice; 'what is preached according to what is appropriate has an intent difficult to understand' concludes the expedient and real of converting others (and so on).
