瑜伽論記 2.151

2.151

The phenomena they posit are briefly three, moderately four, and extensively twenty-five principles (tattva). Excluding the principle of the spiritual self (puruṣa), the middle twenty-three principles are called 'effects,' and primordial nature (prakṛti) is called 'the cause.' The effect abides in the cause and yet has no separate substantial entity, just as gold becomes an earring: although the marks of cause and effect are distinct, there is no other separate substantial entity; this is called 'the cause possessing the effect.'
