俱舍論記 7.31

7.31

「若此法生至等無間緣」者，答。若此果法生，繫屬彼因法，要彼因無間，此果乃得生。如芽等果生，要藉種等因。此等諸法雖相繫屬義說前後，然此非有等無間緣。未來世第一法等，總相而言，雖相繫屬義說前後，而非得有等無間緣，以等無間緣據世前後作用說故。

"If the arising of this dharma ... is an immediately antecedent condition" is the reply. If the arising of this result dharma is tied to that causal dharma, only immediately upon that cause can this result arise. Just as the arising of a sprout and other results requires the aid of a seed and other causes, although these various dharmas are mutually tied and described as before and after in principle, there is nevertheless no immediately antecedent condition here. In the future, the worldly supreme dharmas (laukikāgradharma) and so forth, speaking generally, are mutually tied and described as before and after in principle, but they cannot possess the immediately antecedent condition, because the immediately antecedent condition is formulated based on functional activity before and after in time.
