因明入正理論疏 2.105

2.105

述曰：此第三段隨指釋結。如是多言，牒前九過。下之三故，釋過所由。名似立宗，總結成也。是遣諸法自相門故，釋立初五相違所由。此中意說：宗之有法名為自相，局附自體不共他故。立、敵、證智名之為門，由能照顯法自相故。立法、有法擬生他順智，今標宗義，他智解返生，異智既生，正解不起，無由照解所立宗義，故名遣門。又則自相名之為門，以能通生敵、證智故。凡立宗義能生他智可名為門，前五立宗不令自相，正生敵、證真智解故，名遣諸法自相之門。不容成故，容謂可有，宗依無過，宗可有成。依既不成，更須成立，故所立宗不容成也。故似宗內立次三過。

The commentary says: This third section points out, explains, and concludes accordingly. 'Such many assertions' recapitulates the previous nine faults. The three clauses of 'because' below explain the causes of the faults. 'Are called fallacies of thesis-statement' is the general conclusion. 'Because they exclude the gateway to the specific characteristic of phenomena' explains the reason for positing the first five contradictions. The meaning here is: the qualificand (dharmin) of the thesis is called the 'specific characteristic' because it is restricted to its own substance and is not shared with others. The cognition of the proponent, the opponent, and the adjudicator is called the 'gateway' because it is able to illuminate and reveal the specific characteristic of the phenomenon. In proposing the property (dharma) and the subject possessing the property (dharmin), one intends to generate concordant cognition in the other; now, when stating the thesis-meaning, the other's cognitive understanding is generated in reverse; once a deviant cognition has arisen, correct understanding does not arise, and there is no way to illuminate and understand the meaning of the proposed thesis, hence it is called 'excluding the gateway'. Moreover, the specific characteristic itself is called the 'gateway' because it is able to generate the cognition of the opponent and the adjudicator. Generally, when proposing a thesis-meaning, that which can generate the other's cognition may be called a gateway; since the first five thesis-proposals do not allow the specific characteristic to genuinely generate the true cognitive understanding of the opponent and the adjudicator, they are called 'excluding the gateway to the specific characteristic of phenomena'. 'Because they do not permit establishment': 'permit' means 'capable of existing'; if the basis of the thesis is without fault, the thesis can possibly be established. Since the basis is already unestablished, it further requires establishment, hence the proposed thesis does not permit establishment. Therefore, within the pseudo-theses, the next three faults are posited.
