### [6.127](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.6.127)

明諸菩薩善語義者，達非一異，如燈照色，而色非燈也。謂因燈見色不得言異，而色非燈，故不得言一；以譬因語入義不得言異，而義非語，故不得言一，故云因語言燈，入離言說自證實義。

> This clarifies that bodhisattvas skilled in words and meaning comprehend that they are neither identical nor different, just as a lamp illuminates forms, yet the forms are not the lamp. That is to say, because forms are seen by means of the lamp, they cannot be said to be different; yet because forms are not the lamp, they cannot be said to be identical. This is used as an analogy: because one enters meaning by means of words, they cannot be said to be different; yet because meaning is not words, they cannot be said to be identical. Hence it says that by relying on the lamp of speech, one enters the true meaning of personal realization free from speech.
