「得是至亦空」,三、明平等空。即是體平等假以入空。言「平等」者,生死有為、涅槃無為,二法相異故不等也。今二法皆空,無二相異,即名平等。若存平等,非平等空也,如存生法非生法空。「得是平等唯有空病」等者,即是體平等假以入空也。所以平等是假者,待不平等故有平等,即相待假。四句撿覈,若不可得但有名字,名字即空,即是體平等假空,空病亦空。
From "Attaining this ... is also empty" is the third part: explaining the emptiness of equality. This is realizing the provisionality of equality to enter emptiness. As for the word "equality," birth-and-death is conditioned and nirvāṇa is unconditioned; because the two dharmas are different, they are unequal. Now both dharmas are empty, without two different characteristics, which is called equality. If one preserves equality, it is not the emptiness of equality, just as preserving birth and dharmas is not the emptiness of birth and dharmas. "Attaining this equality, there is only the illness of emptiness" and so forth means realizing the provisionality of equality to enter emptiness. The reason equality is provisional is that equality exists relative to inequality, which is relative provisionality. Examining through the four lemmas, if it is unattainable and there is merely a name, and the name is empty, this is realizing the emptiness of the provisionality of equality, and the illness of emptiness is also empty.
