問:何等是有無縱容五義之相?答:如有空二門,二師各判,一往碩乖。今《昆勒論》縱容有無因之入道,而還用此為諸比丘廣說五義。青目注《中論》云「少有少無入道者,鈍根人也。」恐此縱容不決,判屬鈍根。或是旃延因此縱容廣說五義,不能決判令其入道,致為所彈。即是不堪之由。

Question: What are the characteristics of accommodating existence and non-existence in the five meanings? Answer: For instance, regarding the two gates of existence and emptiness, two masters each judged them, diverging sharply at first sight. Now the *Kǒnlè lùn* accommodates existence and non-existence, relying on this to enter the Way, and in turn used this to broadly explain the five meanings to the monks. Piṅgala's commentary on the *Mūlamadhyamakakārikā* says, "Those who enter the Way through a little existence and a little non-existence are people of dull faculties." Fearing that this accommodation lacked resolution, he classified them as belonging to dull faculties. Or perhaps Kātyāyana, because of this accommodation, broadly explained the five meanings but could not make a decisive judgment to cause them to enter the Way, thus incurring rebuke. This, then, is the reason for his incompetence.
