### [2.162](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.162)

示正理中，明五種相，三、即由自相可得，如因自體不由比度者，如因自相，有能生果功能可得非果體，此因自體現所可見不由比度。四、即由自作業可得者，了別色業以顯眼識等。五、由因及緣變異故，果成變異者，如世麥等，生因盡故枯喪，此由因變異故，果成變異；若遇火等所損，此由緣變異故果成變異，如是麥等非因，無變而獨變果；然彼外道，說自性不變。餘諦變成，應立量云：汝之自性亦應變異，果變異故，如穀麥等。

> In demonstrating the correct principle, five kinds of characteristics are clarified. 'Third, it is apprehended through its own characteristic, as the intrinsic entity of a cause is, not through inference': just as through the cause's own characteristic, the capacity to produce an effect is apprehended and not the entity of the effect, this intrinsic entity of the cause is apprehended through direct perception and not through inference. 'Fourth, it is apprehended through its own activity': such as discerning form through activity to reveal eye-consciousness, etc. 'Fifth, because of the alteration of cause and conditions, the effect turns into an alteration': as in the world wheat and so on wither and perish because their generating causes are exhausted, this is alteration of the effect through alteration of the cause; if damaged by encountering fire and the like, this is alteration of the effect through alteration of conditions; such wheat, etc., are not cases where the cause does not alter while the effect alone alters. However, those outsiders say that primordial nature does not alter, while the other principles turn into alteration; one should formulate the inference: Your primordial nature should also undergo alteration, because the effects undergo alteration, like grain, wheat, etc.
