Nominally speaking of the past cause, it is called the past; it is called already arisen, with its intrinsic nature disintegrated. It is not that in the absence of present dharmas one speaks of the past in isolation. Therefore fascicle 52 says: If seeds that have already bestowed fruition continue in succession, that is called the past realm. Since it calls the succession of seeds the past realm, this clarifies that the substance of the seeds is not what has already ceased. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.3.12) - [Next: 3.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.3.14) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832~en-mt.3.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.3.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.3.13) · Pramāṇa
