說無垢稱經疏 6.504

6.504

贊曰：下顯示。有二：初別解沒生之相、後正釋之。今言沒者，有為諸行死斷滅相。生者，諸行相續之相。體非常斷，似彼二相，故名沒生。

Commentary: Below, clearly displaying it. There are two parts: first, separately explaining the marks of passing away and being born; second, directly explaining them. Here, ‘passing away’ refers to the mark of death and annihilation of conditioned saṃskāras. ‘Being born’ refers to the mark of the continuity of saṃskāras. Their essence is neither eternal nor annihilated, but resembles those two marks; hence they are named ‘passing away and being born’.
