"If it is said that the self-nature of dharmas is permanently existent": this takes up the Sarvāstivāda thesis. "It should be able to produce activity at all times": this challenges the Sarvāstivāda. If you hold that having activity is called present, and lacking activity is called past or future, activity relies upon the substantial entity; since the substantial entity is permanently existent, activity should likewise be so—what hinders this activity so that it is sometimes present and sometimes absent? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 20.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.20.45) - [Next: 20.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.20.47) - [Up: 20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.20) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822~en-mt.20.46) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.20.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.20.46) · Pramāṇa
