二、總攬。結歸三法等者，〈哀嘆品〉云「何等名為祕密之藏？猶如伊字三點，若並則不成伊、縱亦不成，如摩醯首羅面上三目乃得成伊。我亦如是，解脫之法亦非涅槃、如來之身亦非涅槃、摩訶般若亦非涅槃，三法各異亦非涅槃。」故知即一而三、即三而一方是涅槃也。

Second, general summary. 'Concluding and returning to the three dharmas' and so forth: The 'Chapter on Lamentation' states: 'What is called the secret treasury? It is like the three dots of the letter *i* (∴): if placed side by side, they do not form the letter *i*; if placed vertically, they also do not form it; only like the three eyes on the face of Maheśvara do they form the letter *i*. I also am like this: the dharma of liberation is not nirvāṇa, the body of the Tathāgata is not nirvāṇa, and mahā-prajñā is not nirvāṇa; the three dharmas standing separately are also not nirvāṇa.' Hence we know that only what is one yet three, and three yet one, is nirvāṇa.
