偈颂说： ‘此论辩中边，深密坚实义，广大一切义，除诸不吉祥。’ 论曰：此论能够辨别中道和边见的行相，所以名为《辩中边论》。也就是清晰地阐明处于中道和两种边见之间的能缘行义。又，此论能够辨别中道和边见的境界，所以名为《辩中边论》。也就是清晰地阐明处于中道和两种边见之间的所缘境义。或者说，此论正是辨别远离初始和终极边见的中道之法，所以名为《辩中边论》。此论所辨别的是深密义，不是各种寻思所能到达的地方。是坚实义，能够摧毁其他辩论，而不是被他们降伏。是广大义，能够辨明利益自己和他人的事情。是一切义，普遍能够决断了三乘佛法。又能够除灭各种不吉祥，永远断除烦恼障和所知障。 ‘我辩此论诸功德，咸持普施群生类，令获胜生增福慧，疾证广大三菩提（Sāṃbodhi，正等觉）。’ 《辩中边论》卷下

English version: Therefore, this treatise is named 'Distinguishing the Middle from the Extremes'. The verse says: 'This treatise distinguishes the middle from the extremes, its meaning is profound and solid, Vast and all-encompassing, removing all inauspiciousness.' The treatise says: This treatise is named 'Distinguishing the Middle from the Extremes' because it can distinguish the aspects of the middle way and the extremes. That is, it clearly elucidates the meaning of the acting subject (能缘, nengyuan) situated between the middle way and the two extremes. Furthermore, this treatise is named 'Distinguishing the Middle from the Extremes' because it can distinguish the realms of the middle way and the extremes. That is, it clearly elucidates the meaning of the object of cognition (所缘, suoyuan) situated between the middle way and the two extremes. Or rather, this treatise precisely distinguishes the Dharma of the middle way that is apart from the initial and ultimate extremes, hence it is named 'Distinguishing the Middle from the Extremes'. What this treatise distinguishes is the profound meaning, which is not a place that various speculations can reach. It is the solid meaning, capable of destroying other arguments, and not being subdued by them. It is the vast meaning, capable of distinguishing matters that benefit oneself and others. It is the all-encompassing meaning, universally capable of resolving the three vehicles of Dharma. Moreover, it can eliminate all inauspiciousness, permanently cutting off the afflictive obscurations (烦恼障, fannaozhang) and the cognitive obscurations (所知障, suozhizhang). 'I expound the merits of this treatise, holding them entirely and universally bestowing them upon all sentient beings, May they attain superior rebirth, increase blessings and wisdom, and quickly realize vast Sāṃbodhi (正等觉, perfect enlightenment).'
