俱舍論記 19.192

19.192

「又作是說至如識果因」者，此即外人設難。又作是說：彼第三問，人為勝、劣不？應反詰記，亦應一向記攝。人亦勝亦劣，所待異故。猶如一識，從前意生名果，能生後識名因。故《正理》云「如有問：識為果？為因耶？應一向記，亦果亦因，所待異故。」

On the passage from "Also, some say" to "like consciousness as cause and fruit": here an opponent raises an objection. Also, some say that the third question—whether humans are superior or inferior—ought to be answered by counter-questioning, and also subsumed under a categorical answer: humans are both superior and inferior, because what they are relative to differs. It is just as a single consciousness, born from a prior mind, is called an effect, and being able to generate a subsequent consciousness is called a cause. Thus the *Nyāyānusāra* says: "For instance, if one asks: Is consciousness an effect or a cause? One should answer categorically: It is both effect and cause, because what it is relative to differs."
