4.6

Among the middle three pairs, the first pair distinguishes annihilation and permanence with reference to the views of self and non-self; the second pair does so with reference to the views of permanence and impermanence; the third pair does so with reference to the two views of suffering and pleasure. In the first pair, 'if one says that all dharmas are without self' repeats the preceding non-self: both saṃsāra and nirvāṇa are devoid of self, hence it says 'all are without.' 'This is the view of annihilation' concludes that annihilation differs from permanence. 'If one says that self abides' repeats the preceding view of self; 'this is the view of permanence' concludes that permanence differs from annihilation.
