論。而有言說至入實起故　釋曰。此會釋伏疑也。而有言說等者。初正會伏疑。聖者具知諸法離性不可說相。寧有言□假言□□。其旨不在言也。其旨趣者等辨定聖意。有言說者。意為歸真。不欲尋名起分別念。以一切等者。返以釋別。以若尋名便起於念則心生滅不稱真故。

[Treatise:] That there are verbal explanations [is merely the Tathāgata adapting to deluded thoughts with provisional words to guide sentient beings, so that they may] enter into reality—
[Commentary:] "Explication": This harmonizes and explains hidden doubts. "That there are verbal explanations", and so forth: first, it directly harmonizes the hidden doubt. The holy ones fully know that the dharmas are free from nature and are unspeakable characteristics; how could there be words [...] provisional words [...]? Their purport does not lie in the words. "Their purport...", and so forth, determines the holy intention: that there are verbal explanations is intended for returning to the real, not wishing people to pursue names and give rise to thoughts of conceptual discrimination. "Because all...", and so forth, turns back to explain the distinction: because if one pursues names and then gives rise to thoughts, the mind's arising and ceasing will not correspond to the real.
