次辨不同。依《毘婆沙》,以數非數二種之滅,對無常滅而辨其異。異有十種。其一義者,約就有為無為辨異。數非數滅,是無為法;無常滅者,即法而辨,是有為法。依如毘婆闍婆提說,無常之滅亦是無為。彼說法後無處為滅,故曰無為。評者不許。

Next, distinguishing their differences. According to the *Vibhāṣā*, the two kinds of cessation—through deliberation and not through deliberation—are distinguished from impermanent cessation in terms of their differences. There are ten kinds of differences. The first sense distinguishes differences in terms of the conditioned and the unconditioned. Cessation through deliberation and cessation not through deliberation are unconditioned dharmas; impermanent cessation, being distinguished immediately with respect to the dharma itself, is a conditioned dharma. According to the teaching of the Vibhajyavādins, impermanent cessation is also unconditioned. They explain that after a dharma [ceases], the state of non-existence is cessation, and is therefore called unconditioned. The arbiters do not accept this.
