If \[you\] say it is uncaused, \[yet\] you say that the intrinsic nature of the effect originally exists and is manifested by relying on conditions, then manifestation has a cause; saying that this manifestation is uncaused is unreasonable. The syllogism is: The dharma of the effect should have been manifested from the outset, because manifestation is uncaused, just as at the time of subsequent manifestation; or, it should not be manifested now, because it lacks a cause of manifestation, just as when it was not yet manifested. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.172](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.172) - [Next: 2.174](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.174) - [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.2.173) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽師地論略纂](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3.20) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.173) · Pramāṇa
