大般涅槃經義記 3.165

3.165

第三依人不依法中，文有三對：一定上人法，前「依法者即是法性，不依人者即是聲聞」；二用前法即所依人，謂「法性者即是如來」，并用前人即所證法，謂「聲聞者即是有為」，小乘之法無常流轉故曰有為；三明向前所即人法有其可依、不可依義，如來常住是故可依，有為無常故不可依。

In the third section, on relying on the person and not on the Dharma, the text has three pairs: first, it establishes the persons and dharmas above, the former [being] "that which relies on the Dharma is the dharmatā, and that which does not rely on the person is the śrāvaka"; second, it uses the former dharma as identical to the person who is relied upon, namely, "the dharmatā is the Tathāgata," and also uses the former person as identical to the dharma realized, namely, "the śrāvaka is the conditioned"—the dharmas of the Hīnayāna are impermanent and transmigrating, hence they are called "conditioned"; third, it explains that the aforementioned identified persons and dharmas have the meanings of being reliable and non-reliable: the Tathāgata is permanently abiding and therefore can be relied upon, whereas the conditioned is impermanent and therefore cannot be relied upon.
