初云:問:如是五事乃至不依言說故者,章云:一云:了知名言眾生依言取相,是有言有相取所行義依;二、不了名言眾生由成就待名言取相種子隨眠故難不了別名言。然由執名言隨眠力故二取諸相,是言說隨眠者無言有相取所行義;三、初地已上菩薩斷待名言隨眠種子故,正體智不依名言不見事相,是無言無相取所行義,初二地前三乘世俗諦取,最後初地證智勝義諦取。

As for the initial statement: "Question: Are these five things [...] up to not relying on verbal expression?" The Chapter states: First, sentient beings who understand verbal expression grasp signs by relying on words; this is the basis of the range of activity of grasping that is with words and with signs. Second, sentient beings who do not understand verbal expression, because they possess the dormant disposition (anuśaya) of seeds that grasp signs depending on verbal expression, find it difficult not to discern verbal expression. Yet, through the force of the dormant disposition of grasping verbal expression, the two graspings [of subject and object] grasp various signs; this is the range of activity of grasping that is without words and with signs for those with the dormant disposition of verbal expression. Third, bodhisattvas from the first bhūmi upward have severed the seeds of dormant dispositions depending on verbal expression, so their fundamental wisdom does not rely on verbal expression and does not perceive phenomenal signs; this is the range of activity of grasping that is without words and without signs. The first two are the grasping of conventional truth by the three vehicles before the bhūmis; the last is the grasping of ultimate truth by the realized wisdom of the first bhūmi.
