However, the entity of the effect in their school is exclusively manifest; therefore this objection is made. Alternatively: Your primordial nature should also have its entity manifest, because it is the cause of the effect, like the cause of a subsequent effect; just as in their clinging a sprout, being a cause, must be manifest, hence this objection is established. Alternatively: The effect-nature should not obstruct, because its entity is identical to the cause, like the cause; the cause should also obstruct, because it is identical to the entity of the effect, like the effect. Therefore it is said: 'A single dharma is both cause and effect.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.170](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.170) - [Next: 2.172](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.172) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828~en-mt.2.171) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.171](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.171) · Pramāṇa
