5.15

「如是染染者」下，第六類破諸法。上半牒前、下半類法。又上半牒竪破五句、下半橫例萬法。上來破其合義不成，恐畏謂不合應有人法，故復破其不合也。又初兩偈明人法前後義，即是不合。從一時已下竟品，是破合義。長行云「非前非後」者，品初二偈也。「非合非散」者，從一時偈及一異也。

From "Thus defilement and the defiled" onward, the sixth section analogously refutes all dharmas. The upper half cites the preceding; the lower half analogises dharmas. Furthermore, the upper half cites the five vertical refutation phrases; the lower half horizontally illustrates the myriad dharmas. The refutation above showed that their notion of union is unestablished, but fearing they might think that in the absence of union there must be person and dharma, he therefore also refutes non-union. Furthermore, the first two verses explained the sequential relation of person and dharma, which is non-union; from simultaneity downward to the end of the chapter, it is the refutation of the notion of union. The prose commentary saying "neither prior nor posterior" refers to the first two verses of the chapter. "Neither united nor separated" refers to the verse on simultaneity and those on identity and difference.
