經。佛告須菩提是經名為金剛般若波羅蜜以是名字汝當奉持 第二答也。金剛者喻也。即堅利寶。般若者法也。即無分別智。波羅蜜者名到彼岸。顯此真智極究竟故。以是名字汝當奉持者。以猶用也。是由此也。用此能詮之名詮彼所詮之理。理為義持名為文。持文義恭受總名為奉持。
[Sūtra:] "The Buddha told Subhūti: 'This sūtra is named Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā. Under this name, you should uphold it.'"
This is the second [part], the answer. "Vajra" is a metaphor: namely, a firm and sharp jewel. "Prajñā" is the dharma: namely, non-conceptual wisdom. "Pāramitā" means reaching the other shore, showing that this true wisdom is extremely ultimate. "Under this name, you should uphold it": "by" (以) means "to use"; it means "by means of this". One uses this expressing name to express that expressed principle. The principle is upholding through meaning; the name is upholding through text. Reverently receiving both the text and the meaning is collectively termed "upholding".
