釋有三意。一約機不見。是盲者過。二不見是見。見虛空身。以虛空不可見。若不見者。真見虛空。三亦遍不見處故者。明見則不遍。何者。以可見不可見。皆是普賢身。要令可見為身。則普賢身不周萬有。如智不可見。豈非智身耶。明知由有不見之處。方知遍耳。此第三身。何人能見。慧眼方見。非肉眼所見。如是慧眼。無見無不見矣。

> The explanation has three meanings: First, in terms of capacity, not seeing is the fault of the blind. Second, not seeing is seeing: seeing the space-like body, because space cannot be seen; if one does not see it, one truly sees space. Third, it also pervades the places where it is not seen: this clarifies that if it were \[only\] seen, it would not be all-pervading. Why so? Because both the visible and the invisible are the body of Samantabhadra. If it were required that the visible constitute the body, then Samantabhadra's body would not pervade all existing things. Just as wisdom cannot be seen, is it not a wisdom-body? Thus we clearly know that it is precisely because there are places where it is not seen that we know it is all-pervading. As for this third body, who can see it? Only the wisdom-eye sees it; it is not what is seen by the physical eye. Such a wisdom-eye has neither seeing nor non-seeing.
