答。互為主伴。若性遍法界。彼此互無。故不相見。若相遍法界。此彼互有。故無不相見。如舍那為主。證處為伴。無有主而不具伴。是故舍那與證處。同遍法界。謂於東方證法來處。彼有舍那。還有東方而來作證。一一遠近。皆同遍法界。一切塵道。無障無礙。思之可見。

Answer: 'They mutually act as principal and companion. If nature pervades the dharmadhātu, they are mutually non-existent to each other, and therefore do not see each other. If characteristics pervade the dharmadhātu, they are mutually existent with each other, and therefore never fail to see each other. For instance, Vairocana is the principal, and the places of testimony are companions; there is no principal that does not possess companions. Therefore, Vairocana and the places of testimony jointly pervade the dharmadhātu. That is, where the testifying dharmas come from in the eastern direction, Vairocana is present there, and there are also those coming from the east to bear witness. Each and every distance and proximity jointly pervade the dharmadhātu, through all realms of dust, unhindered and unobstructed. Reflecting on this, it can be understood.'
