七、三論師云:「若他明縛脫,縛是自縛,脫是自脫,即是自性之縛脫,此非假縛脫;不得是非縛非脫之縛脫,此非不思議之解脫也。」今明「縛非自縛,由脫說縛;脫非自脫,由縛說脫。」由脫說縛,即是假縛;由縛說脫,即是假脫。假縛非縛,假脫非脫,即是非縛非脫,畢竟清淨;而說縛脫者,即是假名不思議之縛脫也。不思議之縛,即是不思議之脫,故言不思議解脫也。但彼假名方便之語,轉側多方,豈可定述。此略出初章耳。

Seventh, the Sanlun masters say: 'If others clarify bondage and liberation, bondage is self-bondage and liberation is self-liberation; this is bondage and liberation of self-nature, not nominal bondage and liberation. Failing to realize the bondage and liberation of non-bondage and non-liberation, this is not inconceivable liberation.' Now we clarify: 'Bondage is not self-bondage; bondage is spoken of dependent on liberation. Liberation is not self-liberation; liberation is spoken of dependent on bondage.' Speaking of bondage dependent on liberation is nominal bondage; speaking of liberation dependent on bondage is nominal liberation. Nominal bondage is not bondage; nominal liberation is not liberation; this is non-bondage and non-liberation, fundamentally pure. Yet speaking of bondage and liberation is the inconceivable bondage and liberation of nominal designation. Inconceivable bondage is itself inconceivable liberation; therefore it is called inconceivable liberation. However, their conventional words of provisional designation shift and turn in many ways; how could they be fixedly described? This merely sets forth the initial chapter.
