1.601

此斥外道無常性所以,難其無果,以其因非正因故,復對因反復斥之。言異相因者,非我自因之相也。彼言常者,非自作正因實相之力所成之常,乃非常計常之常,豈顯常性之果哉?又復外道所計常不思議,乃言「世間所作之法有已還無,悉是無常,性非性即有無也。」作是見已,妄計神我以為常不思議,故云「思量計常」。

This refutes the reason why the tīrthikas have an impermanent nature and challenges their lack of fruit. Because their cause is not a correct cause, he further refutes it back and forth with respect to the cause. Saying 'their cause has a different lakṣaṇa' means it is not the lakṣaṇa of one's own cause. Their asserting permanence is not the permanence established by the power of the true lakṣaṇa of a correct cause produced by oneself; rather, it is a permanence constructed as permanent upon what is impermanent. How could it reveal the fruit of an eternal nature? Moreover, the permanence and incomprehensibility constructed by the tīrthikas merely says: 'Dharmas produced in the world, having existed, revert to nonexistence; all are impermanent. Nature and non-nature are simply existence and nonexistence.' Having formed this view, they falsely construct a spiritual self as permanent and incomprehensible; hence it is said that they 'mentally deliberate and construct permanence.'
