"Why is this? … up to … cannot be seen again": second, clarifying Mañjuśrī's explanation of the endorsement. That which is said, "One who comes comes from nowhere," explains "if one has come, one does not come again." The four ineffables are the equal dharma-realm, which all buddhas cannot traverse; here there are no marks of coming. Speaking of coming in terms of this is "coming from nowhere," endorsing "coming without coming." "One who goes reaches nowhere": the four ineffables are the equal, true dharma-realm, which all buddhas do not reach; hence it is said, "one who goes reaches nowhere." This reiterates the endorsement of "coming without marks of coming," that coming reaches nowhere. "What can be seen cannot be seen again": in the equal, true dharma-realm of the four ineffables, there is nothing that can be seen; yet as for speaking of seeing, the buddha eye sees to the utmost and there is nothing further that can be seen, which explains the above endorsement of "seeing without marks of the unseeable."
