5.53

[Jātijarā] In the language of Qin, it means "birth." The syllable ja door in the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra is because birth of all dharmas is ungraspable. The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: "One immediately knows that the birth and aging of all dharmas cannot be heard [as real entities]." In the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, when chanting the syllable ja (pronounced she), it is named "entering the purity of the ocean of the worldly realm." The Commentary says: "That is that which can give rise and what is given rise to."
