23.16

論「毘婆沙師至由楔力持」,答。慧由念持,慧名念住,此之果慧從因念名。故《正理論》云「寧智慧住要由念力,以有念者慧增明故。」

[On the *Śāstra*’s:] “The Vaibhāṣikas [say] … held by the power of a peg,” is the answer. Wisdom is sustained by mindfulness, so wisdom is called the application of mindfulness; here the effect, wisdom, takes its name from the cause, mindfulness. Thus the *Nyāyānusāra* says: “Why is it that the abiding of wisdom depends on the power of mindfulness? Because in one who possesses mindfulness, wisdom becomes increasingly luminous.”
