「不眴」者,事釋眴者,人目但上眴,天目上下俱眴。如頂生上忉利,二王共坐,不可別知,唯視眴有異耳。若上眴,云以智就境。若上下俱眴,智境扶合。菩薩不爾,不動不眴,或可從此得名。理釋者,人天動眴是二相見,但見生死涅槃也。菩薩不動不眴,是不二相見,見中道理也,從此得名。「受不受為二」者,不受有五種,如《大品》不受三昧廣大之用,不見受不受,二皆不著,是故受不受雙捨。若捨於受取無受則有去取,有取則作,作故有行。今既兩亡,無取無捨、無作無行,是為入不二法門。受即凡夫受二十五有報,不受即二乘得羅漢時不受諸法漏盡意解。今入不二,不同凡夫受故無取,不同二乘不受故無捨,無取無捨是名入不二法門。

'Animisa' (Unblinking): explaining it in terms of phenomena, regarding blinking: human eyes only blink upward, whereas heavenly eyes blink both upward and downward. Just as when King Mūrdhagata ascended to Trāyastriṃśa, the two kings sat together and could not be distinguished, differing only in the gaze and blinking. If one blinks upward, it is said to approach the object with wisdom; if one blinks both upward and downward, wisdom and object join together. The bodhisattva is not like this, neither moving nor blinking; perhaps he takes his name from this. Explaining it in terms of principle: the moving and blinking of humans and devas is seeing the marks of duality, seeing only birth-and-death and nirvāṇa. The bodhisattva is unmoved and unblinking; this is seeing the mark of non-duality, seeing the principle of the Middle Way, and he takes his name from this.
'Receiving and non-receiving are dual': non-receiving has five kinds, as in the vast functioning of the non-receiving samādhi in the Dàpǐn. Not seeing receiving or non-receiving, one is unattached to both; therefore, receiving and non-receiving are both renounced. If one renounces receiving and grasps non-receiving, there is rejection and acceptance; if there is grasping, there is action, and because of action there is karmic activity. Now, since both are eradicated, there is neither grasping nor renouncing, neither action nor karmic activity; this is entering the dharma gate of non-duality. 'Receiving' is ordinary beings receiving the retributions of the twenty-five realms of existence. 'Non-receiving' is when the two vehicles attain arhatship, not receiving any dharmas, with outflows exhausted and the mind liberated. Now, entering non-duality, one does not grasp, unlike the receiving of ordinary beings; one does not renounce, unlike the non-receiving of the two vehicles. Having neither grasping nor renouncing is called entering the dharma gate of non-duality.
