肇論新疏 3.63

3.63

初二對有無雙非。二種苦陰已亡，故云永滅。無亦非鄉，但有無疆域兩異，義言鄉也。般若妙存，故云不竭。與理冥一，故云抱一。惑業苦事如塵如沙，故萬累。都捐者，真解脫故，亦可五陰永滅樂也。幽靈不竭，我也。抱一湛然，常也。萬累都捐，淨也。與道通同者，三事四德無異體故。抱一下，明體。神而下，顯用。無功者，即神而常湛故。常存者，雖曰無功，神應無息故。故《涅槃經》云「能建大義」。後四句，約體以明非有、就用以明非無，體用一源故非有非無。若各說者，五陰滅故萬累捐，萬累捐故與道同，與道同故冲而不改，冲而不改故不可為有，相躡釋成前本之有境等。已上約體，用可例說。

The first two pairs double-negate existence and non-existence. The two kinds of painful aggregates have already perished, hence it says 'forever extinguished.' Non-existence is also not a realm, but because the territories of existence and non-existence are distinct, it is figuratively called a realm. Prajñā wonderfully persists, hence it says 'inexhaustible.' In dark oneness with principle, it is called 'embracing the One.' The matters of defilement, karma, and suffering are like dust and sand, hence 'myriad entanglements.' 'Completely cast away' is because of true liberation; it can also be that the five aggregates being forever extinguished is bliss. The subtle spirit being inexhaustible is self. Embracing the One with pristine stillness is permanence. The myriad entanglements completely cast away is purity. 'In unison with the Way' is because the three things and four virtues have no distinct essence. From 'embracing the One' downward clarifies the essence. From 'spiritual and' downward reveals the function. 'Without exertion' is because it is spiritual yet ever still. 'Endures forever' is because although called without exertion, its spiritual response never ceases. Therefore the Nirvāṇa Sūtra says it 'can establish great meaning.' The final four phrases clarify non-existence with respect to essence, and clarify non-non-existence with respect to function; essence and function share a single source, and are therefore neither existent nor non-existent. If explained separately: because the five aggregates are extinguished, the myriad entanglements are cast away; because the myriad entanglements are cast away, it is united with the Way; because it is united with the Way, it is profound and unchanging; because it is profound and unchanging, it cannot be considered existent—this step-by-step interpretation completes the preceding 'seek it in the realm of existence,' and so forth. The above is with respect to essence; function can be explained by analogy.
