二、略辨。疏　無妄染者，以如實體中本不與九相六染相應，故名為空，不是真體是空。如實之空者，如實是真性，空是無妄染。如實之空，依主釋，如言瓶空，蓋為瓶中無物，非謂瓶體是空，《涅槃經》中具有此喻也。

> Second, brief differentiation. Commentary: "Free from defilement of delusion": because within the essence of true reality, it fundamentally does not associate with the nine marks and six defilements, it is called empty; it is not that the true essence itself is empty. "The emptiness of true reality": true reality is the true nature, and emptiness is the absence of the defilement of delusion. "The emptiness of true reality" is a determinative compound (tatpuruṣa): just like saying a "jar is empty" simply because there are no things inside the jar, not meaning that the jar's substance itself is empty; the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra has this exact metaphor.
