3.7

出體性者,方便乃智以慧為性,無分別智內𰩑真境,後得智中利他說法,能起方便之妙用故,以後得智為性,《唯識》等說後五波羅蜜多皆後得智為性故,其能所詮性又各別,因智為顯;今從根本故智為性。

Regarding the identification of its substantial nature: expedient means is wisdom, having discernment (prajñā) as its nature. Non-conceptual wisdom internally directly realizes the true sphere, while within subsequently attained wisdom (pṛṣṭhalabdha-jñāna) one benefits others and expounds the Dharma, being able to give rise to the wondrous function of expedient means; therefore, it has subsequently attained wisdom as its nature. As the Vijñaptimātratā and other texts state, the latter five pāramitās all have subsequently attained wisdom as their nature. Although that which expresses and that which is expressed are distinct in nature, they are manifested by relying on wisdom; now, following the fundamental, wisdom is taken as its nature.
