成唯識論演祕 1.477

1.477

答：既兩句論成其一量，應須分別。不可說者而舉因也；有無為者舉其喻矣，因喻合言故無有失。若直准論，論中不言不在聚等，如何宗云：於我非我聚亦不可說？

Answer: Since two sentences in the Treatise complete a single formal syllogism (anumāna), a distinction must be made: what is “ineffable” states the reason (hetu); the “conditioned and unconditioned” states the example (dṛṣṭānta). Because the reason and example are stated together, there is no error. If one goes strictly by the Treatise, the Treatise does not speak of not being in the aggregates and so forth; how could the thesis state: “with respect to the aggregate of the self and not-self, it is likewise ineffable”?
