成唯識論演祕 2.819

2.819

詳曰：非無其理，然依論意本解為正。故論前云假智詮不得自相，此文即云亦非離此，若非智詮此，此誰？又若自相，如何自相施設自相？又施設者，巧便安立所以之義，以彼自相安立自相為假所依義，疎且昧。又雖識變不變有別，而假依真有相濫失，故今不依。

I examine [this]: It is not without reason; however, following the intention of the treatise, the original interpretation is correct. Therefore, the treatise stated above that conventional cognition and expression do not obtain the specific characteristic, and this text immediately says, 'nor are they apart from this'. If they are not conventional cognition and expression, what would this 'this' be? Furthermore, if it were the specific characteristic, how could a specific characteristic provisionally designate a specific characteristic? Moreover, 'provisional designation' carries the meaning of the principle of skillful establishment; taking that specific characteristic to establish a specific characteristic as the basis of the conventional is a distant and obscure meaning. Furthermore, although there is a distinction between what is transformed by consciousness and what is not transformed, there is the fault of conflation in having the conventional rely upon the real. Therefore, we do not now follow [that interpretation].
