論　而有下，二、釋轉難。疏　彼見下，謂佛果海但有大定智悲，而無色相。眾生見色相者，以彼業識所現，屬於無明差別之相，故下文云：但隨眾生見聞得益，故說為用也。非此下，約離相釋，故下文說，諸佛如來唯是法身智相之身，第一義諦，無有世諦可見。既云法身智相第一義諦，豈於此中而有色等不空性耶？又亦下，約性德釋。彼是真善妙色，即性之相。雖名為色，亦非可見之相，故論云智色。以本下，前云以離念境界唯證相應故。後云：諸佛法身無有彼此，色相迭相見故。

> The Treatise states: Regarding "Yet there are...", second: resolving the further challenge. The Commentary states: Regarding "Their seeing...", it means that in the ocean of buddhahood's fruition there is only great concentration, wisdom, and compassion, without physical marks. Sentient beings' seeing of physical marks is manifested by their karmic consciousness and belongs to the differentiated marks of avidyā. Therefore the lower text says: "It is only according to the seeing and hearing of sentient beings that benefits are obtained; hence it is described as function." Regarding "Not this...", it is explained in terms of transcending marks. Therefore the lower text states that all buddha tathāgatas are solely bodies of dharmakāya and marks of wisdom, the ultimate truth, and have no conventional truth that can be seen. Since they are called dharmakāya, marks of wisdom, and the ultimate truth, how could there be a non-empty nature such as form within this? Regarding "Furthermore, also...", it is explained in terms of the virtues of nature. That is the truly good and subtle form, which is the mark of nature itself. Although named "form", it is also not a visible mark; hence the treatise calls it "wisdom-form." Regarding "Because fundamentally...", earlier it was said: "Because the sphere transcending conceptual thought is only conjoined with through realization." Later it says: "The dharmakāyas of all buddhas have no other or self, and physical marks mutually see one another."
