From "The goddess said to female body" is the third [part], the heavenly maiden's rebuke. Because Śāriputra grasped the understanding and yielded that his question was incorrect, she immediately rebuked him, saying: "All dharmas are also like this; they have no fixed characteristics." Saying "all" means that just like the aforementioned male and female, yin and yang, concentration and wisdom, and all dharmas, all are false discriminations; if one merely contemplates dependent origination, seeking them they cannot be found, so what should be transformed? Since you have answered that illusory dharmas have no fixed nature, why did you urge transformation? This is the rebuke.
