隨著英文廣論抄讀功課停在p.121, ch.9, vol.3，隨機選了Nāgārjuna’s Fundamental Treatise進行多語佛學辭典的編輯作業。
這是龍樹菩薩所造的《中觀論》，廣論本文首度出現在卷六p.17402，再度出現時已經跳到卷十七p.40802，不過漢譯本文作：故於彼云『我性且非有，豈能有我所？』要深入研讀方能知悉於彼所指為何？然而，在此之前段文字，漢譯不作《中觀論》而略作《中論》，粗心點或許會與《入中論》混淆。
在漢譯p.41310起這段本文，發現疑似與英文廣論有很大出入的文句如下：
又中觀論第二十六品，顯示十二緣起，順轉生起次第及逆轉還滅之次第，第二十五品重破自性，第二十四觀聖諦品，極廣決擇，自性不空，其生滅等生死涅槃一切建立不成之理，及自性空，彼等一切可成之理。
英文廣論p.132, ch.10, vol.3
The twenty-sixth chapter of Nāgārjuna's Fundamental Treatise teaches the stages of production in the forward progression of the twelve factors of dependent-arising and the stages of their cessation in the reverse progression. The other twenty-five chapters mainly refute intrinsic existence. The twenty-fourth chapter analyzes the four noble truths. It demonstrates at length that none of the teachings about cyclic existence and nirvāṇa - arising, disintegration, etc. - makes sense in the context of non-emptiness of intrinsic existence, and how all of those do make sense within the context of emptiness of intrinsic existence.
漢譯之第二十五品重破自性，在外國學者的理解是The other twenty-five chapters mainly refute intrinsic existence.（義為餘二十五品重破自性）。
孰是孰非？有待查證。
