大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 79.54

79.54

第四出現意業。疏「約體遮詮」下，釋此段經。疏文有三：初總釋文意、二別敘異釋、三會釋歸宗。今初。心即是王，就王辯體。智則是所，約所明用。體則表詮不逮，故但遮詮；用則相可照著，故寄表詮。然用亦有遮詮，同體故、無分量故。若一向遮，則無由顯妙，故寄表詮以辯玄極。而言寄者，謂寄所顯王、寄用顯體。又用及心所皆有遮義，今但寄表以顯於深。

Fourth: the mental karma of appearance. Regarding the Commentary's statement "Apophatic expression with regard to essence" and so forth: this explains this section of the sūtra. The text of the Commentary has three parts: first, a general explanation of the intent of the text; second, a separate account of divergent explanations; third, reconciling them to return to the fundamental school. Now for the first: Mind is the king, and essence is discerned in terms of the king. Wisdom is the associate, and function is clarified in terms of the associate. As for essence, cataphatic expression does not reach it, so there is only apophatic expression; as for function, its characteristics can be illuminated, so one temporarily relies on cataphatic expression. Yet function also has apophatic expression, because it is identical with essence and without measure. If one were exclusively apophatic, there would be no means to reveal the wondrous; hence one temporarily relies on cataphatic expression to discern the profound ultimate. As for saying "temporarily relies": it means relying on the associate to reveal the king, and relying on function to reveal essence. Furthermore, both function and mental associates have an apophatic sense; here, one merely temporarily relies on the cataphatic to reveal the profound.
