Examining this: At first glance they appear identical, but investigating the principle reveals a slight difference. The Mahāyānasaṃgraha directly explains the absence of increase and decrease in terms of severing defilement and attaining purity; this [Treatise] explains the absence of increase and decrease in terms of departing from grasping, which is identical to the Madhyāntavibhāga. By realizing this suchness and departing from grasping, one does not see a single dharma as having increase or decrease; it adduces the dharmas seen as without increase or decrease to manifest true suchness. True suchness of non-increase and non-decrease is a tatpuruṣa compound. Stated in this way, the Commentary's intention is profound.
