In the specific \[part\], it first generally distinguishes the permanence and impermanence of the four marks, and then explains the text. From the standpoint of phenomenal demarcation, the four marks are termed permanent, because they are constantly co-present with dharmas such as form; from the standpoint of dharma demarcation, all four are impermanent, because the four marks urge each other along without halting or abiding. What is the meaning of this? As explained above, when finely differentiated, the four marks have eight distinctions; these eight simultaneously urge and press upon one another. By the power of great arising, excluding its own essence, it causes the other seven marks and the dharma they accompany to arise simultaneously together; by the power of minor arising, it causes great arising to arise. By the power of great abiding, excluding its own essence, it causes the other seven marks and the dharma they accompany to abide simultaneously together; by the power of minor abiding, it causes great abiding to abide. And so forth up to the fourth: by the power of great destruction, excluding its own essence, it causes the other seven marks and the dharma they accompany to cease simultaneously together; by the power of minor destruction, it causes great destruction to cease. Therefore, all marks and the essence of that dharma all possess the meaning of initial arising, subsequent abiding, eventual alteration, and final cessation; hence they are impermanent. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.7.58) - [Next: 7.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.7.60) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764~en-mt.7.59) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.7.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.7.59) · Pramāṇa
