疏「無俟觀破摶聚」者,《金剛經》云「須菩提!於意云何!三千大千世界所有微塵是為多不!須菩提言:『甚多。世尊!』『須菩提!諸微塵,如來說非微塵,是名微塵。如來說世界,非世界,是名世界。』」釋曰:此段論名。第十色及眾生身摶取中觀破相應行住處,大意云:眾生世界但攬塵成,今從麁至細乃至極微皆無實體,故云世界即非世界。今云無俟觀破者,觀破但是假想,為未了者;若了法本空,不待觀破。又彼云摶取,今云摶聚,是義引耳。故什云:「欲破極微」,覺賢云:「以一故眾、以眾故一,微自無性則為空矣。」餘如前說。

Regarding the Commentary's 'there is no need to contemplate and dismantle the gathered lump': the *Diamond Sūtra* says: 'Subhūti! What do you think? Are the dust motes in the great trichiliocosm many?' Subhūti said, 'Extremely many, World-Honoured One!' 'Subhūti, all these dust motes, the Tathāgata says are not dust motes; they are named dust motes. The Tathāgata says that worlds are not worlds; they are named worlds.' Explanation: this section discusses the name. In the tenth [section], on the practitioner's abiding place of contemplating and dismantling within the aggregated grasp of form and sentient beings' bodies, the general meaning is: the worlds of sentient beings are merely formed by gathering dust motes; now, examining from coarse to subtle down to the ultimate atom, none possess a real essence; hence it says that worlds are not worlds. Now saying 'there is no need to contemplate and dismantle' means that contemplating and dismantling is merely a provisional mental construct intended for those who have not yet understood; if one understands that phenomena are fundamentally empty, one does not wait to contemplate and dismantle them. Furthermore, that [text] says 'gathering by taking', while this [text] says 'gathering by clumping'; this is citation according to sense. Therefore Kumārajīva said: 'Desiring to break down the ultimate atom'; Buddhabhadra said: 'Because of the one there is the many; because of the many there is the one. The atom itself has no nature, and is thus empty.' The rest is as explained before.
