### [2.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.2.158)

「阿難！汝咸看此諸變化相，吾今各還本所因處。云何本因？阿難！此諸變化，明還日輪。何以故？無日不明，明因屬日，是故還日。暗還黑月，通還戶牖，壅還牆宇，緣還分別，頑虛還空，欝𡋯還塵，清明還霽。則諸世間一切所有，不出斯類。」

> "Ānanda! Look at all these changing appearances; I will now return each of them to their original causes. What are their original causes? Ānanda! Among these changing appearances, brightness returns to the solar disc. Why? Because without the sun there is no brightness; the cause of brightness belongs to the sun, and therefore it returns to the sun. Darkness returns to the dark moon, passage returns to the doors and windows, obstruction returns to the walls and eaves, conditions return to discrimination, impenetrable voidness returns to emptiness, hazy turbidity returns to dust, and clear brightness returns to fair weather. Thus, everything that exists in all the worlds does not exceed these kinds."
