此偈明何義 若汝意謂 有法有名離法有名 如是一切諸法皆空無自體成 非物無名有物有名 此我今說
若如是者 有何等人 說離法體別有名字 若別有名 別有法者 則不得示彼不可示
如是汝心分別別有諸法別有名者 是義不然

Now you may fancy: Let there be no name without an object; there is an intrinsic nature, but that does not belong to the things; thus, the voidness of the things because of their being devoid of an intrinsic nature will be established, and the name will not be without an object [to be named ].- To this we reply:
You should explain that object, apart from the things, to which now belongs thus that intrinsic nature. You have, however, not explained that.
Hence your assumption: ‘there is an intrinsic nature but it does not belong to the things’, is ruled out.
