2.257

如於身芽河燈乘等者,基云:如於身行中流轉可得,其外法芽河燈乘者雖無有我亦得流轉故,身流轉何須有我。量云:內身流轉定無有我,有流轉故,如芽河等。景云:大地山等積集所成故名為身也。

Regarding the phrase 'as in the case of the body, a sprout, a river, a lamp, a carriage, and so forth': Ji says, 'Just as transmigration is found among the conditioned factors of the body, external phenomena such as a sprout, a river, a lamp, or a carriage also transmigrate although there is no self; why then must there be a self for the transmigration of the body?' The syllogistic statement is: The transmigration of the internal body definitely has no self, because it undergoes transmigration, just like a sprout, a river, and so forth. Jing says: 'Because it is formed from an aggregation of the great earth, mountains, and so forth, it is called a body.'
