3.6

上敘四理，下返申四難，於前四一一別配。　初難云：若不從彼穀，此禾得生，爾者，應世俗間共立一切是一切因，果無定因，果通生故，亦應麥等，是穀等因。　二難云：若求禾果，不唯求取穀因，爾者，為求一禾果，應取一切麥豆等因。　三、若不於穀用力種鋤以求禾果，爾者，為求禾果，應於一切麥豆等中加功營搆。　四、若彼禾果不唯從穀生，爾者，應從一切麥豆等中，所餘一切穀麥等生。

Above, four rationales were stated; below, four counter-challenges are presented, matching each of the preceding four individually. The first challenge states: If this paddy did not come to be born from that grain, then in worldly convention everyone should establish that everything is the cause of everything, so that effects would have no determinate cause, since effects would arise universally; thus wheat and so forth should also be the cause of grain and the like. The second challenge states: If one seeking the effect of paddy did not seek and take only the cause of grain, then in order to seek a single effect of paddy, one should take all causes such as wheat, beans, and so forth. Third: If one did not apply labor to plant and hoe in grain to seek the effect of paddy, then to seek the effect of paddy, one should apply effort and management among all wheat, beans, and so forth. Fourth: If that effect of paddy did not arise solely from grain, then from all wheat, beans, and so forth, all the remaining grain, wheat, and the like should be born.
