Sūtra: So it is, so it is... even to there being not the slightest dharma that can be attained. Exposition: The answer below has two parts: first, explaining that the fruit of bodhi has nothing obtained; second, from "cultivating all wholesome dharmas" downward, explaining that the cause of the path of bodhi has nothing obtained. Within the first, there are again two: first, the fruit of the dharmakāya; later, from "Furthermore" downward, explaining the fruit of the saṃbhogakāya. The commentary says: "It further reveals that bodhi has two kinds of causes and conditions, namely by virtue of the word 'anuttara' and by virtue of the word 'samyaksambuddha.' Therein, the sūtra saying that even a dharma the size of a fine dust mote cannot be obtained and cannot exist is by virtue of the word 'anuttara.' This is because it reveals the intrinsic mark of bodhi, because bodhi has the mark of liberation." Exposition: The two kinds of causes and conditions are, in order, the two bodhis of dharma[kāya] and saṃbhoga[kāya]. As for the term "word," it clarifies that the Dharma is apart from words, neither superior nor unexcelled; it is designated metaphorically with respect to a distinct meaning, hence it is called a "word," like saying a "designation." Here, both Buddhas are named bodhi; bodhi and cessation are both named bodhi. Preaching wisdom and the locus of wisdom are both called prajñā. Although these two words apply to both dharmakāya and saṃbhogakāya, nevertheless, according to the prominence of the marks, each is assigned to its own. This text is the bodhi of the dharmakāya through the word "anuttara." Within it, there are again three: first, sealing; next, explaining the lack of attainment; later, concluding with the name. These are the first two. Taking up the previous phrasing of the question, "was nothing obtained?", it therefore now seals it, saying: "So it is, so it is; truly there is nothing obtained." The explanatory text is understandable. This treatise says: "Within that, there is not even a dharma the size of a fine dust mote that possesses substance; therefore, it is also neither attainable nor existent."
