Speaking generally, they are solely revealing causes; they are designated as generative causes because of their strong efficacy in producing the fruit. A generative \[cause\] can produce what was non-existent to make it exist; a revealing \[cause\] reveals what already exists. In terms of the text, it is slightly out of sequence; deducing the meaning, the third pair ought to be the second. The first pair takes the six pāramitās prior to the stages and pairs them against the buddhadhātu. Although buddhadhātu is the direct cause (pradhāna-hetu), in terms of the power to produce the fruit, without the pāramitās such as giving (dāna), one cannot obtain the fruit; since it is stronger than \[mere\] revealing, it is conceptually spoken of as 'generative.' Sengliang comments: Because the direct cause, the buddhadhātu, has inferior efficacy in grasping the fruit, it can only serve as a revealing cause. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 55.93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.55.93) - [Next: 55.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.55.95) - [Up: 55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.55) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.55.94) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.55.94](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.55.94) · Pramāṇa
