4.75

「但有諸俗數,展轉為鉤鎖,
離彼因緣鎖,生義不可得。
無生性不起,離諸外道過,
但說緣鉤鎖,凡愚不能了。
若離緣鉤鎖,別有生性者,
是則無因論,破壞鉤鎖義。
如燈顯眾像,鉤鎖現若然,
是則離鉤鎖,別更有諸性。」

"There are only conventional reckonings,
Interlinked like a chain;
Apart from that chain of causes and conditions,
The meaning of origination cannot be found.
Origination being without nature does not arise,
Free from the errors of the tīrthikas;
Merely speaking of the chain of conditions,
The foolish cannot understand.
If, apart from the chain of conditions,
There were another nature of origination,
That would be a doctrine of no-cause,
Destroying the meaning of the chain.
Like a lamp revealing manifold forms,
If the appearance of the chain were thus,
Then apart from the chain,
There would separately be other natures."
