瑜伽論記 5.349

5.349

第九段有五頌釋通疑難中，又此因道無有斷絕頌中四句，如其次第釋此四難者：一者、難言：若無有我，後有應斷。初句答言因道不斷故；二、有難言，果應頓俱生，答此難言：和合作用轉，非頓非俱作用合故；三、有難言：若無實我，應從一切一切得生故。次答言：從自因而生自無他因有不生故；四、有難言：既無有我誰攝受生死等作用故。此答言：及攝受所作由因不斷果生立假者，能攝受所作實我故成無，由此名為四句如次。

In the ninth section, there are five verses resolving doubts and objections. The four lines in the verse "Furthermore, this path of cause has no interruption" resolve these four objections in proper order: First, the objection states: "If there is no self, the subsequent existence should be severed." The first line answers by stating that the path of cause is not severed. Second, an objection states: "Results should arise suddenly and simultaneously." Answering this objection, it states: "Harmonious functioning unfolds, neither suddenly nor simultaneously, because functions harmonize." Third, an objection states: "If there is no real self, everything should be able to arise from everything." Next, it answers: "It arises from its own cause; because what lacks other causes does not arise." Fourth, an objection states: "Since there is no self, who appropriates functions such as saṃsāra?" This answers: "And appropriating what is done, because causes are uninterrupted and results arise, a nominal agent is established; a real self that can appropriate what is done is therefore nonexistent." For this reason, they are called the four lines in proper order.
