5.61

[Artha] In Qin it means "meaning" (artha). As for the śi-syllable of the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, the sūtra edition originally has the śi-syllable gate, because one enters into the ungraspability of the śi-syllable of all phenomena. The Śāstra says: "If one hears the tha-syllable, one immediately knows that the meaning of all phenomena is ungraspable." In the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, when intoning the syllable hṛda (rising tone), it is called the wheel of wisdom of the realm of birth and death. The Commentary says: "Namely, the nature of attachment to meaning: attachment is the realm of birth and death, and meaning is the wheel of wisdom."
