Just as the two horns of an ox arise simultaneously, \[making\] one a fruit and one a cause contradicts correct reasoning. Thus fascicle fourteen of the Prakaraṇāryavācā says: "Just as the substance of Maheśvara is inherently permanent, so too is the world; it should not be born anew. Because they are coexistent, there is no use in being newly born." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.303](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.303) - [Next: 2.305](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.305) - [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.2.304) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽師地論略纂](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3.83) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.304](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.304) · Pramāṇa
