2.10

第二、破法中二：先牒計，後斥破。破中先頌後釋。頌中，略舉自不成生，上半約舉未生破，下半舉已生破。釋中二：先釋一頌，後總結一門。前中二：先釋生，後例住滅。前中三：初、釋破自生；二、釋破生彼；三、雙結呵非。初中三：先案定；二、「若未生」下，正破。先約未生破，既未有自，誰能自生？「若謂生已」下，舉已生破。既已生，何須更自生？三、「是故」下，結。二、「若不自生」下，破生彼，自尚不生，況能生彼。三、「汝說」下，雙結呵非。二、例住滅，可知。二、「是故」下，總結一門。

Second, the refutation of dharmas has two parts: first, restating the claim, and next, refuting and rejecting it. In the refutation, first there is a verse and then the explanation. In the verse, it briefly adduces that self-production does not succeed; the first half refutes it with reference to the unproduced, and the second half refutes it with reference to the already produced. In the explanation there are two parts: first, explaining the single verse, and next, summarizing the chapter. In the former there are two parts: first, explaining arising, and next, extending the analogy to abiding and cessation. In the former there are three parts: first, explaining the refutation of self-production; second, explaining the refutation of producing the other; third, jointly concluding and reproving the error. In the first there are three parts: first, fixing the premise; second, from 'If not yet produced' onward, the direct refutation. First it refutes with reference to the unproduced: since the self does not yet exist, what could produce itself? From 'If you say already produced' onward, it refutes with reference to the already produced: since it has already arisen, why would it need to produce itself again? Third, from 'Therefore' onward, the conclusion. Second, from 'If it does not produce itself' onward, refuting production of the other: it does not even produce itself, how much less can it produce another? Third, from 'What you say' onward, jointly concluding and reproving the error. Second, extending the analogy to abiding and cessation can be understood. Second, from 'Therefore' onward, summarizing the entire chapter.
