7.14
'The other two conditions are the reverse' means that the immediately antecedent condition and the objective-support condition exercise their function of giving effect in a manner contrary to the above. The immediately antecedent condition exercises its activity at the stage of arising, which is contrary to the former two causes [acting] at the stage of cessation. This is because when the immediately antecedent effect-dharma arises, it opens and yields the path, providing it a place. As for the objective-support condition, it exercises its activity at the stage of cessation, which is contrary to the former three causes [acting] at the stage of arising. That is, the objective-support condition exercises its activity only when the apprehending [mind] is at the stage of cessation, because minds and mental factors grasp objects only when they are present. The reason the predominant condition is not mentioned in the verse is that the predominant condition abides without obstruction toward all dharmas; following the non-obstructed state, whether it exercises the function of giving effect at the point of arising or at the point of cessation, neither is hindered.
