此偈明何義 若此言語有自體者 汝前所立義宗自壞 是則有過 若爾便應更說勝因 若汝意謂語有自體餘法空者 如是則違諸法空語 汝宗亦壞
又復有義 言語不離一切法數 若一切法皆悉空者 言語亦空 若言語空則不能遮一切諸法 若如是者 於六種中諍論相應
彼復云何汝不相應 汝說一切諸法皆空 則語亦空 何以故 言語亦是一切法故 言語若空則不能遮 彼若遮言一切法空則不相應
又若相應言語能遮一切法體 一切法空語則不空語 若不空遮一切法則不相應
若諸法空言語不空語何以所遮 又若此語入一切中喻不相當
若彼言語是一切者 一切既空言語亦空 若語言空則不能遮
若語言空諸法亦空 以空能遮諸法令空 如是則空亦是因緣 是則不可
又若汝畏喻不相當 一切法空能作因緣 如是空語則不能遮一切自體
又復有義 一邊有過 以法有空亦有不空 彼若有過更說勝因 若一邊空一邊不空 如是若說一切法空無自體者 義不相應

Now you may think, in order to avoid this effect: this sentence is endowed with an intrinsic nature, and being endowed with an intrinsic nature, it is non-void; thus the intrinsic nature of all things have been denied by it. – To this we reply: If so, then your former proposition ’All things are void’ is destroyed.
Furthermore: Your statement is included in all things. [Now] if all things are void, for that reason is your statement non-void, - that statement which has denied the intrinsic nature of all things because it is [itself] non-void? Thus arises a controversial discussion in six points.
How is it? – Well, (1) If all things are void, then your statement is void, being included in all things. [And] a negation by that [statement] which is void is a logical impossibility. In these cirkumstances, the negation that all things are void is not valid.
If, on the other hand, the nagation that all things are void is not valid, then your statement is non-void. [But] that negation which it establishes because it is non-void, is not valid.
Now, if all things are void, but your statement by which is effected the negation is non void, then your statement is not included in all things. Your proposition, there, is contradicted by the example.
If, on the contrary, your statement is included in all things, and if all things are void, then your statement also is void. [And] since it is void, it cannot establish a negation
Let us then assume that it is void and that there is the negation by it: ’All things are void’. But, in that case, all things, though void, would be capable of performing actions – which is absurd.
Let it be granted, then, that all things are void and that they are not capable of performing actions; let the proposition not be contradicted by the example. In that case, however, the negation of the intrinsic nature of all things by your void statement is not valid.
Furthermore: If your statement exists, there arises the following discordance: some things are void, and some other things, non-void. And you should state the special reason for it, explaining why some things are void, while others are not. You have, however, not stated that reason. In these circumstances, your statement that all things are void is not valid.
