In the explanation: if one only determines without opening, the subtle is a subtlety external to the coarse, and the relative opposition remains fully intact; those who do not understand will all claim that relying on the coarse constitutes the subtle, and the subtle instead becomes coarse. As quoted earlier from the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā: "If a dharma is established through dependence, this dharma in turn becomes dependent." Therefore, now opening it leaves nothing further to be depended upon; that which is depended upon is precisely that which depends, so the designations of subject and object are cut off, and the substance of relative opposition ceases to exist. Hence the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā says: "Now there is no dependent condition, nor is there any dharma that is established." For this reason, this one gateway is required to open the coarseness of the preceding three teachings and the coarseness within those four flavors. The various dharmas below can be understood by analogy with this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717.5.39) - [Next: 5.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717.5.41) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717~en-mt.5.40) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717.5.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1717.5.40) · Pramāṇa
