[Sarva (sasa)] In the language of Qin, it means "all." The Fayuan zhulin says: "'Yi' (one) refers to universal reach; 'qie' (all) refers to exhausting the boundaries." The syllable sa door in the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra is because the time of all dharmas is ungraspable, and because dharmas turn with the coming of time. The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: "One immediately knows that all dharmas and all species are ungraspable." There are two kinds of "all": first, nominal "all," as in the saying: "All fear death, none do not dread swords and staves; but formless and bodyless entities do not dread swords and staves." This is the nominal "all." Second, real "all." The Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra says: "'All' refers to internal and external dharmas; the two vehicles can know them but cannot employ them; all paths arise in all species." In the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, when chanting the syllable sa (pronounced with the fanqie su-wo), it is named "pouring down great rain." The Commentary says: "That is the nature of equality."
