4.79
The first two lines point to the preceding two natures as the cause of generating fire. Internally, arising and ceasing do not cease, and solid clinging is not abandoned; externally, motion does not rest, and rigid hardness is difficult to destroy; mutually rubbing against each other, fire is produced—just as in the method of producing fire with a drill and wood, where one is solid and the other in motion. Fire can melt and disperse, bringing all things to maturity; hence it is said to be "the nature of transformation."
