論「雖有先因至如死業應無」,答。轉隨若無,即無表業,如死、無心,有身無業。《正理論》云「若無隨轉,雖有先因為能引發,如無心位、或如死屍,表應不轉。隨轉於表有轉功能,無表不依隨轉而轉,無心亦有無表轉故。」

The treatise says: "Although there is a prior cause [...] as in death, karma would not exist." This is an answer. If the initiating and following minds are absent, there is no informative karma; just as when dead or mindless, the body exists but karma does not. The Nyāyānusāra says: "If there were no following mind, then although there is a prior cause as that which induces it, informative karma would not operate, just as in a mindless state or as in a dead corpse. The following mind has the function of setting informative karma into motion; uninformative karma does not operate relying on a following mind, for uninformative karma also operates when one is mindless."
