成唯識論了義燈 3.46

3.46

《論》：如有真火等者。本云依他之中，有似法無似我。法謂軌持，依他中有。我謂主宰依他中無，法別種起。我無別種，不障名似，但有無別，餘多不了。異釋云云。《要集》中說人類猛等，及緣自共相等，皆不得意。設難失宗，煩不能敘。

Regarding the treatise saying, "As there is actual fire..." The original text states that within the other-dependent nature, there is that which resembles dharmas, but nothing that resembles a self. "Dharma" refers to holding its own attribute (guṇa/lakṣaṇa), which exists within the other-dependent. "Self" refers to a controller (prabhu), which does not exist within the other-dependent. Dharmas arise from distinct seeds; the self has no distinct seeds. This does not prevent it from being termed "resemblance"; there is merely the distinction between existence and non-existence, which many others do not comprehend. Differing explanations are manifold. The *Yaoji*'s discussions regarding the human class, ferocity, etc., and the cognizing of self-characteristics and common characteristics, all miss the intent. Formulating objections that lose the fundamental tenets is too tedious to recount.
