瑜伽論記 3.216

3.216

The words "due to the conditions not being severed, others are able to arise" mean that the second phrase shows conditioned arising as impermanent, for it is not by unarisen phenomena serving as causes that any arisen phenomenon can be established. The latter two phrases show the meaning of arising through efficacious potency: that is, although phenomena lack agency (as in the third phrase), and although phenomena are impermanent (as in the fourth phrase), it is not that all fruitions arise by following merely any single phenomenon as a condition. Because the capacities of phenomena differ, it is stated thus. Alternatively, the first refutes conditioned arising through agency; the second refutes conditioned arising through permanence; the third shows conditioned arising through efficacious potency; and the fourth refutes the fault of unequal conditioned arising where one acts and another receives the fruit.
