That is, the former productive cause conceals the dominant, and the latter auxiliary cause conceals the cause-conditions; neither is completely clear, and so \[the phrasing\] does not fully express the underlying principle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.8.87) - [Next: 8.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.8.89) - [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.8.88) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.8.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.8.88) · Pramāṇa
