二、「今明」下,明今釋,二:初、約四微撿破。「內地四微所成」等者,荊溪云:此且順於外計以說,即二十五諦中有此計。故彼云四大之中微有增減者,意云其力薄者須多微成,其力大者由少微成。故四大中風力最大,唯一微成,即水無香微、火無香味,一往觀之亦謂似爾。然於佛法終無一微獨能成法,但是有質皆四微成。今欲破計故從計,故下云火二微所成等。「若內」下,四大既無主,三事豈不然,以三事中命即風大、煖即火大、識即六大中識大也。二、「又請」下,約四句撿破,二:初、正撿破。「地無堅性」者,即彼經文。「若有」下,今師約句撿破,釋經無堅義也。二、「金剛」,下引經證。

Second, from "now clarifying" downward, clarifying the present explanation, in two: first, examining and refuting in terms of the four subtle particles. Regarding "internal earth is formed of four subtle particles," and so forth, Jingxi states: this is provisionally stated in accord with outsider attachments, which are found among the twenty-five principles. Therefore they say that among the four great elements the subtle particles increase or decrease; the intention is that those whose power is weak require many subtle particles to form, while those whose power is great are formed of few subtle particles. Thus, among the four great elements the power of wind is greatest and it is formed of only one subtle particle; water has no subtle particle of fragrance, and fire has no fragrance or flavor; viewed cursorily, it also seems to be like this. Yet in the Buddha's Dharma there is never a single subtle particle that can independently form a dharma; all things possessing physical form are formed of four subtle particles. Now, wishing to break their attachment, we follow their attachment; hence it says below that fire is formed of two subtle particles, and so forth. From "if internal" downward: since the four great elements have no master, how could the three things be otherwise? For among the three things, life is the wind element, warmth is the fire element, and consciousness is the consciousness element among the six elements. Second, from "also, the Qing[guanyin jing]" downward, examining and refuting in terms of the four propositions, in two: first, directly examining and refuting. "Earth has no nature of solidity" is the text of that sūtra. From "if there is" downward, the present master examines and refutes in terms of the propositions, explaining the sūtra's meaning of having no solidity. Second, from "adamantine" downward, citing a sūtra as proof.
