肇論新疏 2.352

2.352

初句汎指時輩，亦在問者。次句隨聲取義，過失尤多，不必雷同，故云多等。多字，貫下諸句。次二句，大方、前識，俱出老氏，彼云「大方無隅」，又云「前識者道之華」。如人欲游大方反求廉隅，以況欲悟非有非無之般若，反於有知無知中求。前識，即惑取也。存分別之識標，指無分別玄妙之智，恰與相反。後句，所存者，謂胸臆所見也。執胸臆之見，定為允當。

The first line refers generally to contemporaries, and also includes the questioner. The next line grasps the meaning following words, which contains especially many faults; they are not necessarily identical, so it says "mostly," etc. The word "mostly" runs through the subsequent lines. In the next two lines, "great square" and "foreknowledge" both come from Laozi, who said, "The great square has no corners," and also said, "Foreknowledge is the flower of the Way." It is like a person wishing to wander through the great square but instead seeking edges and corners, which serves as a metaphor for wishing to awaken to prajñā that is neither being nor non-being, but instead seeking it within having knowledge and lacking knowledge. "Foreknowledge" is precisely grasping through delusion. Preserving discriminative consciousness to indicate non-discriminative profound knowledge is precisely the opposite. In the last line, "what they preserve" refers to the views held in their own minds. Clinging to the views of their own minds, they determine them to be thoroughly right.
