首楞嚴義疏注經 3.378

3.378

破空生也。空若生水，有空皆水，誰不受溺？以空遍故水亦周遍，人天水陸應不各存。滔，水沒也。

This refutes arising from space. If space produced water, wherever there is space would be water; who would not be drowned? Because space is pervasive, water would also be omnipresent, and humans, gods, water-dwellers, and land-dwellers could not exist separately. 'Tao' means submerged by water.
