1.662

述曰:一故一切法同體,異故諸法體不同,如杌似人牛,說為人牛,是假,非實,而義說故。此中量云:汝一、異應假,非實;二相違法一處說故;如似人牛。

The Commentary states: Because of oneness, all phenomena share an identical substance; because of difference, the substances of all phenomena are not identical. Just as a post resembling a man or a cow is said to be a man or a cow—which is metaphorical (prajñapti), not real, yet spoken of conventionally—here the syllogism runs: "Your oneness and difference should be metaphorical, not real; because two mutually contradictory phenomena are spoken of in one locus; like what resembles a man or a cow."
