論「若爾,真如應是假有」者,此有多過:宗有比量相違,亦有決定相違,亦有自不定。比量相違云:種子應非定假;與法不一、異,亦如說真如;為如瓶等,與法不一、異故,種子是假;為如真如,與法不一、異故,種實有耶!故為不定。

Regarding the treatise's statement, "If so, True Suchness ought to be nominally existent (prajñaptisat)": this incurs many fallacies: in the pakṣa there is contradiction with inference (anumāna-bādha), also counter-balanced contradiction (satpratipakṣa), and also self-undeterminedness (anaikāntika). The contradiction with inference is: Seeds should not be determinately nominal; because they are neither one with nor different from dharmas, as stated of True Suchness. Is it that, as with a vase or the like, being neither one with nor different from dharmas makes seeds nominal? Or is it that, as with True Suchness, being neither one with nor different from dharmas makes seeds substantially existent? Hence, it is undetermined.
