肇論新疏 1.240

1.240

初引《智論》後第二十七中一句。又義引中論轉釋，云即第一真諦。引此二論以為宗依，下論廣釋。皆云諸法者，則統貫一切也。以是義宗，故引通名總辨即中之理。次下依宗開示，或約空色乃至言說心行等一一別顯。末後引《中觀》等二論，約因緣生法以辨之。乃復總攝一切非真、空色等也。始末依此詳考，方知論旨成立之妙。第一者，真俗非二故，非真俗之二故。

First, it cites a phrase from the latter part of fascicle twenty-seven of the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa. It also quotes the gist of the Madhyamakaśāstra as a further explanation, stating that this is the foremost ultimate truth. It cites these two treatises as the doctrinal foundation, which the treatise below elaborates. That they both say "all dharmas" comprehensively encompasses all things. Because this is the doctrinal principle, it cites a common term to analyze collectively the principle that is itself the middle. Next, following the doctrine, it opens and shows, individually revealing [it] by reference to form and emptiness, and even down to words and mental activities. At the end, it cites two treatises—the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā and another—to analyze it in terms of dharmas produced from causes and conditions. It then again gathers together all that is unreal, form and emptiness, and so forth. By examining in detail from beginning to end based on this, one only then realizes the marvelousness with which the treatise's purport is established. "Foremost" means that ultimate and conventional are not two, and that it is not the duality of ultimate and conventional.
