However, Chapter 38 and elsewhere only say: 'virile activity' (puruṣakāra), down to matters such as divination; through this, accomplishing farming and so forth is the fruit of virile activity. They do not speak of obtaining fruits that are co-arising, immediately following, temporally separated, or non-arising, as in the co-existent cause (sahabhū-hetu) and so forth. Because of this, there are two explanations: First, solely a person is the cause, and what is obtained is the fruit of virile activity; the cause is solely a designated person, not even the least real dharma. The second master \[holds\]: mind and mental factors co-arising and so forth also obtain this fruit; that is, it is not solely a designated person who is the cause. Therefore, the text simply speaks comprehensively of all agents, relying on instruments, accomplishing tasks. For the former master, solely a minor portion of conditioned dharmas constitutes the essence of the fruit, because it is accomplished through the power of a person; for the second master, it extends to unconditioned dharmas as also being the essence of the fruit, because causal dharmas are the agent, and condition dharmas are the instruments, taking the name from the metaphor. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.130](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.8.130) - [Next: 8.132](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.8.132) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830~en-mt.8.131) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.8.131](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.8.131) · Pramāṇa
