肇論新疏 3.314

3.314

群有，即萬物也。量，謂邊量。緣起事法雖廣多無際，然有名有相皆屬分限，故云有涯。身子，即舍利弗，智慧第一故。滿願，即富樓那，辨才第一故。意云：有限俗諦，直令窮滿願之辨才，不能盡談其名；極身子之智慮，不能遍知其狀。故《涅槃》三十五云：「我往一時在耆闍崛山，與彌勒菩薩共論世諦。舍利弗等五百聲聞，於是事中都不識知，何況出世第一義諦。」

“Multitude of existing things” refers to the myriad things. “Measure” refers to boundaries and limits. Although the phenomenal phenomena of dependent origination are vastly manifold without boundary, having names and characteristics they all belong to finite limits; hence it is said that “they have limits.” “Śāriputra” is Śāriputra, because he was foremost in wisdom. “Pūrṇa” is Pūrṇa Maitrāyaṇīputra, because he was foremost in eloquence. The meaning is: regarding the limited conventional truth, even if one exhausted Pūrṇa's eloquence, he could not fully speak its names; even if one pushed Śāriputra's wisdom and contemplation to the utmost, he could not ubiquitously know its conditions. Hence the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, fascicle thirty-five, says: “Once, when I was on Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain discussing conventional truth together with Maitreya Bodhisattva, Śāriputra and the other five hundred śrāvakas were completely unable to recognize or know anything in that matter, how much less the supramundane ultimate truth.”
