楞伽阿跋多羅寶經註解 3.54

3.54

貪恚癡下，復釋不壞所以。言若內若外者，謂三毒之性於內、外、中間求之皆不可得。既不可得，豈有體性而可取乎？故結云「非佛聲聞緣覺是壞者」。蓋佛與二乘本性解脫，非縛非脫故也。又言若有縛者，謂先受而後不取，則已有縛，縛是其果，果必有因，因即貪等。有縛則有壞，如是說壞者，即墮斷滅空見，故云「無有相」也。

From "greed, anger, and delusion" downward further explains the reason they are not destroyers. Saying "whether internal or external" means that if one searches for the nature of the three poisons internally, externally, or in between, they are all ungraspable. Since they are ungraspable, how could they have an essential nature that could be grasped? Therefore, it concludes: "it is not that Buddhas, śrāvakas, and pratyekabuddhas are destroyers." This is because the Buddha and the two vehicles are originally liberated in their nature, being neither bound nor released. Further, saying "if there were one who is bound" means that if one first received and later did not grasp, then there would already be bondage; bondage is its fruit, and the fruit must have a cause, the cause being greed and the like. If there is bondage, then there is destruction; speaking of destruction in this way falls into the view of annihilating emptiness, hence it is called "the characteristic of nonexistence."
