89.10

Regarding the commentary's "Eight: ba", a rising-tone syllable: in both the alternate translation and the Prajñā[pāramitā] it is the syllable ma. Its meaning is largely identical to the fanqie pronunciation bu + wo. In the text, it first explains the meaning; afterwards, "only then does one enter the vajra-seat" reconciles it with the sūtra. It is like the Buddha entering the vajra-samādhi, severing like a vajra. Affliction being in the vajra-seat, there is neither bondage nor liberation, which is true severance. The Dazhidulun says: "Hearing the syllable ba, one immediately knows that all phenomena are free from bondage and liberation, because here bandha means bondage."
