6.403

四、法爾道理，云由彼諸法，本性應爾等者，本性應爾謂無始來，自性應爾不待眾緣，法性應爾法相道理。或即如是，或異如是，或非如是者，且如四大堅即是地，乃至動即是風，名即如是，如說地能持乃至風能敷等，此說業用異四大體名異如是，如色形處是地清澄是水炎，亦名火輕觸是風緣所造色，本非四大，假說四大名非如是，以因風增造得輕觸，輕觸非是風大等。

Fourth, the principle of nature (dharmatā-yukti): where it says 'due to those dharmas, their original nature being inherently so,' and so forth: 'original nature being inherently so' means that from beginningless time their intrinsic nature is inherently so without depending on multiple conditions; 'the nature of phenomena being inherently so' is the principle of the characteristics of dharmas. Regarding 'either identical to this, or different from this, or not like this': for example, among the four great elements, solidity is earth, down to motion being wind—this is called 'identical to this.' When it is said that earth can support, down to wind can disperse, and so forth—this speaks of active function as distinct from the substance of the four great elements, and is called 'different from this.' When form, shape, and location are [taken as] earth, clarity as water, heat as fire, and light contact as wind—these are derived forms (bhautika) based on conditions, which are originally not the four great elements but are conventionally called the four great elements; this is called 'not like this,' because derived light contact is produced through the preponderance of wind, yet light contact is not the wind element itself, and so forth.
