1.362

述曰：自下第五假設外徵，釋諸妨難。若三段科，第三文也。此中難云：若無實我，誰能記憶曾所更事，亦能了知一切境界，誦持經書，溫習文史，恩濟於彼，怨害於此，貪愛是財，嗔怒个物，種種事業？犢子部我亦能記憶，與外合問。應立量云：一切有情，應無憶識等事；以無我故；如太虛空。下辨外救，有三問答：初文有五，文相可知。答中論主初皆却質。

The Commentary states: Here below is the fifth, hypothesising an external challenge to resolve various objections. Under a three-part outline, it is the third text. Herein the objection states: If there is no real self, who can remember things previously experienced, can also understand all objects, recite and uphold scriptures and treatises, review texts and histories, grant kindness to that one, work harm to this one, greedily love this wealth, become angry at that object, and perform all kinds of activities? The Vātsīputrīya self can also remember; they question together with the outsiders. One should establish the syllogism: 'All sentient beings should lack memory, recognition, and the like; because of the absence of a self; like empty space.' Below, resolving the opponent's defenses, there are three questions and answers. The first text has five parts, and the textual structure is understandable. In the reply, the author of the Treatise initially questions them back in every case.
