Why is this? If they were to arise simultaneously, there would be no distinction between what acts and what is acted upon, because the characteristic of a cause could not be found. If they were to arise gradually, the self-nature of the characteristic could not be found; gradual arising does not arise, just as an unbegotten son has no father's name." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.37) - [Next: 2.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.39) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.2.38) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་མདོ་ལས་སངས་རྒྱས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་གསུང་གི་སྙིང་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་ལེའུ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo-d108.3.7) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.38) · Pramāṇa
