Just as cause and fruit are like this for a clay jar, so by analogy the other four—cloth made from threads and so on—are also like this. All take thread, grass, seed, and milk as their cause, while cloth, mats, sprouts, and butter are the fruit; the meaning of conditions can be known from this. These are called phenomena produced from conditions, which must first have the cause and later the fruit, arising successively. That is to say, that which directly brings about \[the result\] is the cause, and that which distantly assists is the condition. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.4.18) - [Next: 4.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.4.20) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791~en-mt.4.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.4.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.4.19) · Pramāṇa
