瑜伽師地論略纂 3.3

3.3

「雨眾外道」者，謂數論師之大弟子，十八部主，雨時生故，名雨；彼之徒黨，名眾。彼計諸法略為三，中為四，廣為二十五諦。除神我諦，中間二十三諦名果，自性名因。果住因中，仍無別體，如金為釵鐺，因果相殊，更無別體，名因有果。如《唯識疏》、《金七十論》述。

"The Varṣagaṇya non-Buddhists" refers to the great disciples of the Sāṃkhya masters, chiefs of the eighteen sub-schools. Because [their founder] was born during the rainy season, he was named Varṣa ("Rain"); his followers are called the gaṇya ("community/assembly"). They posit that all phenomena are summarized as three, moderately as four, and extensively as twenty-five principles. Excluding the principle of the spiritual self (puruṣa), the middle twenty-three principles are called effects, and the primordial nature (prakṛti) is called the cause. The effect resides within the cause and yet has no separate substantial entity—just as when gold becomes a hairpin or earring, cause and effect differ in their characteristics, yet there is no separate substantial entity; this is called the effect being present in the cause. This is explained as in the Commentary on the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi and the Sāṃkhyakārikā-bhāṣya (Golden Seventy Treatise).
