成唯識論演祕 7.439

7.439

According to fascicle nine of that work, the root treatise states: 'Taking the transformation of the basis of that upon which the two rely as its mark: herein, saṃsāra refers to the defiled portion of the dependent nature (paratantra-svabhāva); nirvāṇa refers to the purified portion of the dependent nature. That upon which the two rely refers to the dependent nature which runs through both portions. The transformation of the basis refers precisely to the dependent nature: when the antidote arises, it transforms away and discards the defiled portion, and transforms to attain the purified portion.' Asabhāva's commentary says: '"Taking the transformation of the basis of that upon which the two rely as its mark" is interpreted either as a tatpuruṣa compound or as a karmadhāraya compound.'
