金剛三昧經論 2.103

2.103

論曰：是第三合。於中有二：總合、別合。總合中言唵摩羅者，此云無垢。本覺本淨性無改轉，似彼金錢性無改故。又金有四義，喻本覺中常樂我淨，通合四喻中金錢也。別合中有四句。本無出相者，合初喻中手執金錢故。今即非入者，合第三喻而得金錢。昔迷故非無者，合第二喻。汝執金錢何不取用，是昔迷故不用，而手執故非無也。今覺故非入者，合第四喻。是汝本物汝非有得，今覺本物不出自心。既本不出，何得有入？非有入故，非有得也。

The treatise states: This is the third part, the application. Herein there are two: general application and specific application. In the general application, 'the amala' is translated here as 'immaculate'. Innate awakening is fundamentally pure, and its nature undergoes no change, resembling the fact that the nature of those gold coins does not change. Furthermore, gold has four meanings, analogizing the permanence, bliss, self, and purity within innate awakening, generally applying to the gold coins in the four parables. In the specific application there are four phrases: 'Originally it has no characteristic of exiting' applies to 'holding gold coins in his hand' in the first parable. 'Now there is no entering' applies to 'obtained the gold coins' in the third parable. 'Formerly confused, it was not absent' applies to the second parable: 'You are holding gold coins; why do you not take and use them?'—this is because formerly confused, he did not use them, yet because they were held in his hand, they were not absent. 'Now awakened, there is no entering' applies to the fourth parable: 'They are your original possessions; you have not attained anything'—now awakened that the original possession does not exit one's own mind. Since it fundamentally never exited, how could there be an entering? Because there is no entering, there is no attainment.
