皆顯等者，亦可不增減、非生滅，皆是顯常恒所以。又不生不滅方是不增減，畢竟常恒。若有生滅則有增減，非是常恒。又此一句是顯不垢淨也，謂在纏不垢、出障不淨。若不然者，即有變異，豈曰常恒？又如故無增減，真故不生滅，後句總結也。又此三義即是前文畢竟平等，無有變異，不可破壞也，如次對之。

"All reveal," and so forth: It is also possible that not increasing or decreasing, and not arising or ceasing, are both reasons that reveal constancy and eternity. Furthermore, only non-arising and non-ceasing is non-increasing and non-decreasing, and ultimately constant and eternal. If there were arising and ceasing, there would be increase and decrease, and it would not be constant and eternal. Furthermore, this phrase reveals neither defiled nor pure: it is not defiled when in bondage, and not pure when emerging from obstructions. Were it not so, there would be mutation; how could it be called constant and eternal? Moreover, because it is "such" (tathā) there is no increase or decrease; because it is "real" (bhūta) there is no arising or ceasing; the latter phrase summarizes them. Furthermore, these three meanings correspond precisely to the preceding text's "ultimately equal, without mutation, and indestructible," matching them respectively.
