金剛般若論會釋 3.57

3.57

From here below is the third major section: the Tathāgata affirms Subhūti's explanation; by principle he should also affirm the individual refutation of name and form, but because the collective refutation of name and form follows immediately, he specifically affirms this. The subsequent meaning says: based on worldly truth there is that grasping in a lump; based on the ultimate truth that phenomenon is ineffable, meaning that in the ultimate truth there is no grasping in a lump that can be spoken of; but ordinary people and the two vehicles do not understand that composite marks are empty, and rigidly grasp [them] by following names. Therefore, the treatise cites the sūtra: 'Those foolish child-like ordinary people grasp according to conventional speech, not the ultimate truth.' Vasubandhu's treatise says: 'Merely following conventional sounds, / Ordinary people grasp inversions'—which explains this text.
