說無垢稱經疏 3.272

3.272

贊曰：下示正理。有三：初言離相性、次文字亦離、後結成諸法。此初文也，徵何所以不懼文字。空理義云：勝義性相皆體都空，言說妄起，故離空性，不稱理故，何所懼乎？應理義云：勝義性相，體有離言，假立名言，非稱法性，故諸言說，皆離性相。既是虛假，何所怖也。

Commentary: Below, demonstrating the correct principle. There are three parts: first, that speech is free from characteristics and nature; next, that written words are also free [from them]; and finally, concluding with all phenomena. This is the first passage, investigating why one should not fear written words. The meaning according to the principle of emptiness says: The nature and characteristics of the ultimate truth are in substance completely empty; verbal expressions arise falsely, and are thus devoid of emptiness-nature and do not correspond to principle, so what is there to fear? The meaning according to the principle of conformity (Yogācāra) says: The nature and characteristics of the ultimate truth are in substance ineffable; nominal designations are conventionally established and do not correspond to the reality-nature of phenomena, so all verbal expressions are free from nature and characteristics. Since they are false and conventional, what is there to fear?
