8.82

上來正明見空非倒,自下第二遮防外難明聖隨俗說有非倒。何因道此?向者宣說凡生女相,聖人不生名非顛倒;若爾,聖人亦說有女,應是顛倒。為遮此難,故今釋之,聖隨俗說故非顛倒。文中初明菩薩隨世亦說為女,「若見男」下明其非倒,「見男說女是則顛倒」反顯不倒,「是故我」下引說證成。

The above directly explained that seeing emptiness is not inverted; below, the second part prevents external objections and explains that when the noble accord with the conventional and speak of existence, it is not inverted. For what reason is this stated? Earlier, it was proclaimed that for the ordinary to produce the mark of a woman, while the noble do not produce it, is called non-inverted; if so, then when the noble also speak of there being a woman, that should be an inversion. To prevent this objection, it is now explained: because the noble speak in accord with convention, it is not inverted. In the text, it first explains that the bodhisattva, according with the world, also speaks of a woman; from "If one sees a man..." onward, it explains that it is not inverted; "seeing a man and speaking of a woman, this would be an inversion" conversely reveals non-inversion; from "Therefore, I..." onward, it cites teachings to establish the proof.
