答:設緣俗諦離言說故,維摩經云:彼說法者無言無說,彼聽法者無聞無得。又持地論云:隨事取隨事如取,不作是念此事此如,是故諸菩薩設緣名言,名為無言無相取也。

Answer: Even if it apprehends conventional truth, it is free from verbal expression. The Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa states: "He who expounds the Dharma has neither words nor speech; he who listens to the Dharma has neither hearing nor attainment." Furthermore, the Bodhisattvabhūmi states: "Grasping in accord with phenomena, grasping in accord with the suchness of phenomena, without making this thought: 'this phenomenon, this suchness'." Therefore, even if bodhisattvas apprehend names and words, it is called grasping without words and without signs.
