自下第三舉因類破。水草是其生乳之因,舉之類破乳中有酪。句別有四:一舉執直非,「若有說言乳有酪性故能生酪,水無酪性不能生酪,是義不然」。二「何以」下釋,先徵、後解。「水草亦有」對問略釋,「者何」以下徵問重解。三舉執重非,「若言乳有水草無者,是名虛妄」,前非其法,此非其見。四「何以」下釋,心不平等故名虛妄。此第三竟。

From here below, the third [part] refutes by adducing the category of cause. Water and grass are the causes that produce milk; adducing them refutes by analogy [the view of] curd existing within milk. There are four distinct clauses: First, stating the attachment and directly refuting it: "If someone says that milk has the nature of curd and therefore can produce curd, while water lacks the nature of curd and cannot produce curd, this meaning is not so." Second, from "Why?" below is the explanation, first questioning and then explaining. "Water and grass also have it" is a brief explanation in response to the question; from "which one" below is an interrogative question with a reiterated explanation. Third, stating the attachment and refuting it again: "If one says milk has it and water and grass lack it, this is called false"; the former refutes the dharma, while this refutes the view. Fourth, from "Why?" below is the explanation: because the mind is not impartial, it is called false. This concludes the third.
