成唯識論述記 1.624

1.624

述曰：自下大文第三，合破父母及子。又麁果色與因極微俱有質礙，亦應不得同一處住，如二極微。二極微有礙，即不得同處，如何因、果二色俱有礙，遂得同處？同處者，即相涉入義，謂所生果色涉入因極微中，故為此破。上來意爾。此中比量雖非次第，如文具有。量云：麁果與因父母極微應不同處；許有礙故；如二極微。

The Commentary states: Below is the third major section, jointly refuting both parents and children. Furthermore, since both the coarse material effect and the causal atoms possess physical obstruction, they should also not be able to occupy the same location, just like two atoms. Two atoms, having obstruction, cannot occupy the same location; how then could the two material entities of cause and effect, both possessing obstruction, occupy the same location? 'Occupying the same location' means mutual interpenetration, namely that the produced material effect interpenetrates into the causal atoms; hence this refutation is made. This is the overarching intention above. Although the syllogism here is not strictly in formal order, it is fully contained in the text. The syllogism is: The coarse effect and the causal parent atoms should not occupy the same location; because they are accepted to have obstruction; just like two atoms.
