9.66

右句義中,伽伽那是虛空義,娑摩是等義,阿娑摩是無等義,所謂等虛空無等也。如來法身,本性淨故、無分別故、無邊際故,等同虛空。然復有無量無邊不思議功德,非彼虛空所能譬喻,故云無等也。復次阿娑摩是不等義,不等者所謂二乘。今既等同虛空,又等此無等,故云等虛空無等也。以最初伽子為真言體,眾生界中來去亦不可得,法界中來去相亦不可得,以如來如去不可得,故名為大空。以此大空性淨之水,用浴無垢之身,是為閼伽真實之義也。

In the meaning of the phrases above: gagana means space; sama means equal; asama means unequalled; that is to say, 'equal to space, unequalled.' Because the Tathāgata's dharmakāya is fundamentally pure by nature, non-conceptual, and boundless, it is equal to space. Yet it also possesses immeasurable, boundless, and inconceivable virtues that cannot be exemplified by space; hence it is called 'unequalled.' Furthermore, asama means unequal, and the 'unequal' refers to the two vehicles. Now, being equal to space, it is also equal to this unequal; thus it is said to be 'equal to space, unequalled.' Taking the initial syllable ga as the essence of the mantra: within the realm of sentient beings coming and going are ungraspable, and within the dharmadhātu the marks of coming and going are also ungraspable; because tathāgata ('thus-come') and tathāgata ('thus-gone') are ungraspable, it is called the great emptiness. Using this water that is pure in its great empty nature to bathe the immaculate body—this is the true meaning of argha.
