Visuddhimagga XVII-11

 Gambhīranayāsambhavatoti vuttaṃ kho panetaṃ bhagavatā ‘‘gambhīro cāyaṃ, ānanda, paṭiccasamuppādo gambhīrāvabhāso cā’’ti (dī. ni. 2.95; saṃ. ni. 2.60).

（3）「缺乏甚深之理故」，即如世尊说：「阿难，这缘起甚深、甚深」！

Ñ(XVII,11): (3) It admits of no profound treatment: this has been said by the Blessed One, 'This dependent origination is profound, Ānanda, and profound it appears' (D.ii,55; S.ii,92).

Gambhīrattañca nāma catubbidhaṃ, taṃ parato vaṇṇayissāma.

有四种而名甚深，后面当说。

Ñ: And the profundity is fourfold as we shall explain below (Ch. XVII, §304f.);

Taṃ uppādamatte natthi.

这种甚深之理在仅仅生起中是不会存在的，

Ñ: but there is none of that in simple arising.

Catubbidhanayapaṭimaṇḍitañcetaṃ paṭiccasamuppādaṃ vaṇṇayanti,

即是古人赞说这缘起有四种道理（四句分别）而庄严，

Ñ: And this dependent origination is explained [by the teachers] as adorned with the fourfold method (Ch. XVII, §309);

tampi nayacatukkaṃ uppādamatte natthīti gambhīranayāsambhavatopi na uppādamattaṃ paṭiccasamuppādo.

而此四法是不会存在于仅仅生起之中的。所以说因为缺乏甚深之理，故不是仅以生起为缘起。

Ñ: but there is no [need of] any such tetrad of methods in simple arising. So dependent origination is not simple arising, since that admits of no profound treatment.
