### [3.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.3.167)

此有故彼有者，顯無作緣生義，此生故彼生者，顯無常緣生義，非餘者，唯由有緣果法得有，非緣有實作用能生果法，亦非無生法為因故少所生而得成立，無作無常二種為緣，非餘作用及無生法二種為因，故言非餘，此簡自在天等有實作用及計無為能為緣起以釋其名。

> "Because this exists, that exists" reveals the meaning of condition-arising without agency. "Because this arises, that arises" reveals the meaning of condition-arising through impermanence. "Not otherwise" means that solely due to the existence of conditions can resultant phenomena exist; it is not that conditions have real agency capable of producing resultant phenomena, nor is it that non-arising phenomena act as causes whereby anything produced is established. The two kinds—actionlessness and impermanence—serve as conditions, and it is not that other agency and non-arising phenomena serve as causes; hence it says "not otherwise." This excludes \[the views that\] Īśvara and the like possess real agency and the imputation that the unconditioned can serve as dependent origination, thereby explaining its name.
