自下第八明無所得。於中三番:初舍利問「久如得阿耨菩提」。天女反答「如舍利弗還為凡夫,我乃當得」。二、舍利弗彰己作凡無有是處。天女約之,明己有得阿耨菩提亦無是處。初先略辨,「所以」下釋。「菩提無處故無得」者,如上文說「菩提離相,是故不可身得心得。」今言無處,故不可得,別是一義。
From here on, the eighth section clarifies that there is no attainment. Within this there are three turns: First, Śāriputra asks: 'How long until you attain anuttarabodhi?' The goddess answers in reverse: 'When Śāriputra returns to being an ordinary person, then I will attain it.' Second, Śāriputra shows that his becoming an ordinary person is an impossibility. Relying on this, the goddess clarifies that her having an attainment of anuttarabodhi is likewise an impossibility. First she briefly distinguishes it; from 'For what reason' onward, she explains it. In 'Because bodhi has no location, there is no attainment', as the earlier text states, 'Bodhi is free from characteristics, and therefore cannot be attained by the body or attained by the mind.' Now saying that because it has no location, it therefore cannot be attained, is another distinct meaning.
