First, in terms of the equal-and-immediate: the previous cause-and-effect perishes, and the subsequent moment's consciousness cause-and-effect arises. Second, in terms of seeds: at the stage when the previous seed cause perishes, the subsequent seed result is just arising. Third, in terms of the previous moment: at the stage when the active and seed cause-and-effect perishes, the subsequent moment's active and seed cause-and-effect arises, because all seeds arise and perish together with the eighth consciousness, like the two ends of a scale, being stated by way of mutual implication. The previous text only mentions the perishing of the cause, while the subsequent text only mentions the arising of the result; this explanation is correct. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.4.10) - [Next: 4.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.4.12) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832~en-mt.4.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.4.11) · Pramāṇa
