成唯識論演祕 3.6

3.6

略為二釋。一云：言十二緣起非是者，非種子也；言無為無取等者，釋其所以。二云：非是之言而屬下句，顯彼緣起體非無為；言無取等，釋所以也。前釋為本。本顯無為非是種子，不欲破彼無為義故。

There are briefly two explanations. One says: the words 'the twelvefold dependent origination is not' mean that it is not a seed; the words 'unconditioned, without grasping, and so forth' explain the reason. The second says: the words 'is not' belong to the lower clause, revealing that the substance of that dependent origination is not unconditioned; the words 'without grasping, and so forth' explain the reason. The former explanation is fundamental. Its primary purpose is to show that the unconditioned is not a seed, not wishing to refute their doctrine of the unconditioned.
