論。云何對治至體無不實 述曰。下明對治。於中有二。初明虛空非常遍有。後顯法身非有遍常。前中亦三。初立。次釋。後結。此初也。明虛空相是妄法者。此明情有。聞說空名隨分別有虛空相故。體無不實者。此顯理無。如彼空花據情雖有據理無故。

[Treatise:] How is this corrected? ... its essence is not unreal.
[Exposition:] Below, explaining the counteractive remedy. In this there are two: first, explaining that empty space is not permanent, pervasive, and existent; next, revealing that the dharmakāya is non-existent, pervasive, and permanent. In the first there are also three: first, establishing; next, explaining; finally, concluding. This is the first. Explaining that the mark of empty space is a delusive dharma clarifies that it exists according to sentiment: hearing the name "emptiness," in accordance with discrimination there is the mark of empty space. "Its essence is not unreal" reveals that it is absent in terms of principle: like sky-flowers, although existing according to sentiment, it is absent according to principle.
