宛如有人讚美栴檀，謀自活命。有諸欲求妙栴檀者，而問彼曰：汝有檀耶？答曰實無，此全無義唯虛言故。
It is similar to someone makes a living by explaining the good qualities of sandalwood, and when someone who diligently seeks sandalwood asks him, "Do you have any sandalwood?" and that person replies, "No."
就好比說，有人（靠著）讚美檀香（作）為自己謀生活（的方式）。有些想買這種美好檀香的人，就問他說：「你有檀香（賣）嗎？」，回答說：「實在是沒有。」，（所以）這些話根本沒有意義，只是空話而已。

- [英文版廣論沒翻譯「此全無義唯虛言故」，字面上的意思是「這樣一點用處都沒有，講的都是空話」，用簡單的英文表達可以寫成Such behavior will not truly befinit himself or others, and what he says are just empty talks. 但由於這不是正式的英文版廣論內容，所以就額外註記一下]
