It also serves to eliminate confusion: commonly, affirming both involves mutual contradiction, and commonly, negating both touches upon frivolous discourse (prapañca). Therefore, \[the commentary\] integrates both, causing one to depart from the two calumnies and complete a statement endowed with virtue. This means not only that the two do not contradict each other, but also that the two statements mutually establish one another. Hence it says: "If one does not negate non-existence so that non-existence is thoroughly exhausted, non-existence cannot be taken as non-existence." The phrase "negate non-existence so that it is thoroughly exhausted" refers to non-non-existence; "negate existence so that it is thoroughly exhausted" refers to non-existence. This means that if non-existence is not non-non-existence, then non-existence is also obliterated. Why? If non-existence is not exhausted, it would be an intrinsically existent non-existence, and hence not true non-existence. The subsequent line is also like this: if non-existence is not non-existence, then non-existence is also existence; because if existence is not exhausted, it would be an intrinsically existent existence, and not true existence. Thus, through neither existence nor non-existence, the preceding both-existence-and-non-existence is established. Furthermore, it should also be explained that the proposition of "both" establishes the "neither"; this is implicitly contained within the "both" proposition and the concluding remarks below, so it is omitted here. If one wished to explain it separately, one would say: because "both existence" is an existence that is identical to non-existence, it establishes "non-existence"; because "both non-existence" is a non-existence that is identical to existence, it establishes "non-non-existence." When the commentary states, "Preservation and elimination do not obstruct one another, and simultaneous vanishing is unobstructed—only then is it the dharma gate of dream-like unhindered mastery," this is the conclusion. Preservation is existence, elimination is non-existence, both is both-existence-and-non-existence, and vanishing is neither-existence-nor-non-existence. All interpenetrate mutually, hence they are described as unhindered mastery. Furthermore, preservation preserves the four propositions, elimination eliminates the four propositions, both both-preserves-and-eliminates, and vanishing neither-preserves-nor-eliminates; hence it is called the dharma gate of dream-like unhindered mastery. If they were to oppose each other, how could it be called unhindered mastery? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 75.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.75.42) - [Next: 75.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.75.44) - [Up: 75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.75) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.75.43) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.75.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.75.43) · Pramāṇa
