3.156

就文為兩:一、標止言,二、釋止言。初如文。「所以者何」下,第二、釋止言,為二:初、明法妙,眾生不解,故不可言。次、明唯佛能解,故不須言。不言之意唯此兩也。

In the text there are two parts: first, marking the stopping of speech; second, explaining the stopping of speech. The first is as in the text. From “Why is this?” onwards, secondly, explaining the stopping of speech, has two parts: first, explaining that the Dharma is marvelous and sentient beings do not understand, so it cannot be spoken; second, explaining that only buddhas can understand, so there is no need to speak. The intention of not speaking consists solely of these two.
