瑜伽論記 2.158

2.158

若不爾者，應立一切，是一切因者，若言乳中先無酪性酪得生者，如是水等一切法中，皆無酪性，應從水等彼酪得生；若言水等一切法中，本無酪性酪得生者，應立一切諸法皆是一切諸法生因，此舉第一理為難也。為求一果，應取一切者，為求一酪果應取一切法為因，以諸因中俱無酪果性故，此舉第二理為難也。應於一切，加功營構者，若彼乳中無酪性者，求酪之人，應一切法中，加功營構，此舉第三理為難也。應從一切，一切果生者，若彼乳中，本無酪性酪得生者，則彼乳中無餘法性應生餘法，是則餘法，本無酪性，亦應生酪，此舉第四理為難也。

'If it were not so, one should establish that everything is the cause of everything': if one says that without the nature of curd having previously existed in milk, curd is able to arise, then in all things such as water there is likewise no nature of curd, so that curd should be able to arise from water and the like; if one says that without the nature of curd originally existing in all things such as water, curd is able to arise, then one should establish that all things are causes for the arising of all things. This raises the first reason to present a difficulty. 'To seek one effect, one should grasp everything': to seek a single effect of curd, one should grasp all things as causes, because in all causes alike there is no nature of the effect of curd. This raises the second reason to present a difficulty. 'One should apply effort and contrivance in everything': if in that milk there is no nature of curd, a person seeking curd should apply effort and contrivance in all things. This raises the third reason to present a difficulty. 'From everything, every effect should arise': if, with no nature of curd originally in that milk, curd can arise, then since that milk lacks the natures of other things, it should give rise to other things; if so, other things, originally lacking the nature of curd, should also give rise to curd. This raises the fourth reason to present a difficulty.
