成唯識論了義燈 6.157

6.157

中滅，依法師《辨中邊疏》，護法、安惠二師釋別。依護法云：斷此二取所得不生，不生是擇滅，由依依他起而得於滅，假說為依他起，此意即性假諦實。安惠釋云：二取即遍計所報，二取所依識自體分，是依他起，二取所依自體分，斷得不生，不生是滅，假名依他，今言二取意取所依識之自體。

[Regarding] the middle cessation: according to the Master's Madhyāntavibhāga-ṭīkā, the explanations of Master Dharmapāla and Master Sthiramati differ. According to Dharmapāla: the non-arising attained by severing these two graspers—non-arising being pratisaṃkhyānirodha—is nominally designated as paratantra because cessation is attained by relying on the paratantra; this means nature-nominal and truth-real. Sthiramati's explanation says: the two graspers are what is reported by parikalpita; the essential part of consciousness upon which the two graspers rely is paratantra; the severance of the essential part upon which the two graspers rely results in non-arising, non-arising being cessation, nominally called paratantra; now, saying 'the two graspers' means intending the essential nature of consciousness upon which they rely.
