論。此真如體至皆同如故　述曰。此顯真體無遣無立。恐聞前說遣真名相謂遣真體強生空見故。遮之云無有可遣。何不遣者。下句釋云。以一切法悉皆真故。諸法無性非虛妄故。悉皆是真故。於真體更何所遣。恐感者聞真體不遣。當情而立強生滅見。故遮之云。亦無可立。何不立者。下句釋云。以一切法皆同如故。以諸法空無別無變故。皆同如而此真體更何所立。

Treatise: "This essence of suchness […] are all identical with suchness." Commentary: This reveals that the true essence is devoid of discarding and establishing. Lest hearing the earlier statement that the name and attribute of the true are discarded causes one to think that the true essence is discarded, forcibly giving rise to the view of emptiness, it refutes this by saying that there is nothing to be discarded. Why is it not discarded? The lower clause explains: because all phenomena are entirely true. Since phenomena lack intrinsic nature and are not false, all are entirely true; hence, regarding the true essence, what more could be discarded? Lest confused persons, hearing that the true essence is not discarded, establish it in accordance with sentiment and forcibly give rise to a view of extinction, it refutes this by saying: nor is there anything to be established. Why is it not established? The lower clause explains: because all phenomena are all identical with suchness. Because all phenomena are empty, devoid of difference and variation, they are all identical with suchness; therefore, regarding this true essence, what more could be established?
