3.9
Commentary: Because the subtle essence of tathatā transcends all kinds of marks—meaning that it is free from going, coming, blue, yellow, red, white, and all other marks of any kind. That it is 'not a domain of grasped marks' means that it is not an object cognized by that grasping mind. The Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi says: 'The pariniṣpanna is eternally apart from that previous nature with respect to it; therefore it is named neither one nor two.' 'One' and 'two' are relative marks; in the true, relativity is severed, so it is neither one nor two. Thus the intent here is to make known the identity and difference of manifested bodies.
