初二句,明心境互成。若不證於萬物性空之理,何以成聖人?若非聖智,亦不見性空之理。此則同前般若論中內外相與而成功。後二句,明心境非異。初一句躡前,既證理為聖,聖智豈異於理耶?此明聖智與理通同,顯無古今先後之異。

The first two lines clarify that mind and object mutually accomplish each other. If one does not realize the principle of the nature-emptiness of the ten thousand things, how could one become a sage? If not for sage intellect, one would also not see the principle of nature-emptiness. This is identical to the mutual participation of internal and external achieving success in the earlier Treatise on Prajñā. The latter two lines clarify that mind and object are not different. The first line follows the former: since realizing principle constitutes a sage, how could the sage intellect be different from principle? This clarifies that sage intellect and principle connect as identical, revealing that there is no difference of ancient and modern, prior and posterior.
