泰師章云：相是依他性故當言是有，計有自性差別，是遍計所執假立，五法所不攝故當言是無，相是第三分別所行境界，所緣緣攝故，當言是有，遍計所執非所緣緣攝故，當言是無，初地已上諸菩薩等起後得智，於智所現相分得善巧，故云無執，心中四句假說皆空無有過，遠離決定增益損減等四諦二邊行於中道，善說依他俗諦法界依他起性假有眾相，諸菩薩等假說眾相時，依他起相是言語安足處，如是言說義當言是有，若如遍計所執自性差別假立不成就義，如是依他起相以離遍計所執言說義當言是有，類釋第二名第二分別亦爾，真如正智是圓成依他攝故當言是有，遍計所執當言是無。

Master Tai's essay says: Because character is paratantra-nature, it should be said to exist; conceptualizing it as having essence and difference is parikalpita nominal designation, not subsumed under the five dharmas, and so should be said to be nonexistent. Character is the objective domain of the third, conceptualization, and being subsumed under the objective condition (ālambanapratyaya), it should be said to exist; parikalpita is not subsumed under the objective condition, and so should be said to be nonexistent. Bodhisattvas on the first bhūmi and above give rise to subsequently attained knowledge and attain skillfulness regarding the image-aspects manifested by knowledge; hence it is called 'without grasping'. In their minds, the four clauses of nominal expression are all empty and faultless, far removed from the two extremes of reifying determination and nihilistic reduction regarding the four truths, walking the middle path, skillfully expounding the paratantra conventional truth dharma-realm wherein paratantra-nature nominally possesses manifold characters. When bodhisattvas and others nominally expound the manifold characters, the paratantra characters are the locus upon which language is established; in this way, it should be said to exist according to the meaning of verbal expression. If in the sense that the nominal establishment of essence and difference according to parikalpita is unestablished, in this way paratantra characters, being free from the verbal meaning of parikalpita, should be said to exist. Analogously explaining the second, name, and the second, conceptualization, is also like this. Tathatā and correct knowledge are subsumed under pariniṣpanna and paratantra, and therefore should be said to exist; parikalpita should be said to be nonexistent.
