1.373

答：若以堅執方無體者，護法何別？護法豈許所執二分是依他耶？又自證變依他性者名為相、見，依此堅執為我法者，名似我、法復有何失？若許爾者，不殊護法，由此難知。

Answer: If only through persistent clinging they lack substance, how would this differ from Dharmapāla? Would Dharmapāla ever accept that the grasped two divisions are paratantra? Furthermore, if self-awareness transforms into paratantra natures called nimitta and darśana, and based upon these persistent grasping posits self and dharmas, calling them 'resembling self and dharmas', what fault would there be? If this is allowed, it would not differ from Dharmapāla; therefore it is difficult to understand.
