3.14

自下第二就十八界明法離相。文中一十九句。義分為二。初有一句明人無我。後十八句明法無我。就初句中。法無我所者正辯理無。謂真法中無我及所。義如上解。離我所故釋以顯無。下法空中句雖十八相從為三。初有六句。明六根空。法無動下五句明六識空。法離好醜下七句明六塵空。初六句中。前三破相後三即實。就前三中。初句約識以明根空。第二約塵以彰根空。第三約因以顯根空。

Next, the second part explains dharma being free from marks with respect to the eighteen dhātus. In the text there are nineteen clauses, divided in meaning into two parts: first, one clause explains pudgala-nairātmya; later, eighteen clauses explain dharma-nairātmya. In the first clause, regarding "Dharma has no 'mine'," it directly explains that the principle is absent [of 'mine']. That is, within the true Dharma there is neither self nor 'mine,' the meaning being as explained above. "Because it is free from 'mine'" explains to reveal its absence. In the dharma-nairātmya below, although there are eighteen clauses, they group into three: first, six clauses explain the emptiness of the six sense faculties; from "Dharma has no movement" onward, five clauses explain the emptiness of the six consciousnesses; from "Dharma is free from good and ugly" onward, seven clauses explain the emptiness of the six sense objects. In the first six clauses, the first three refute marks, and the latter three identify with reality. In the first three, the first clause explains the emptiness of the faculties in terms of consciousness; the second reveals the emptiness of the faculties in terms of sense objects; the third demonstrates the emptiness of the faculties in terms of cause.
