We do not deny the existence or non-existence of a nature; we only refute that the effect resides within the cause. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3.21) - [Next: 3.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3.23) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.3.22) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.2.175) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.3.22) · Pramāṇa
