金剛般若經依天親菩薩論贊略釋秦本義記卷上 1.59

1.59

經。是諸眾生若心取相即為著我人眾生壽者　後文釋也。文復有二。先總後別。此文初也。通舉有無二執故言總也。夫法執為因我執為果。不斷法執我執還生故。云若心取相。取有無二種相也。即為著我人等者。我執因之而起。

[Sūtra:] "If the minds of these sentient beings grasp at marks, that is their clinging to a self, a person, a sentient being, and a soul." The subsequent text explains it. The text again has two parts: first general, and next specific. This text is the first. It universally adduces both clinging to existence and clinging to non-existence, and is therefore called "general." Indeed, clinging to dharmas is the cause and clinging to self is the effect. If clinging to dharmas is not severed, clinging to self will arise again; therefore it says, "if the mind grasps at marks," meaning grasping at the two kinds of marks, existence and non-existence. "That is their clinging to a self, a person, etc.": clinging to self arises based on this.
