4.78

難陀勝子等,立種生現,前後異時。引《雜集》等云:有眼、非眼界等。又《瑜伽》云:無常法與他性為因,亦與後念自性為因,非即此剎那,以非即此剎那,長貫前他性因中故,因果不俱。

Nanda, Jayasena, and others establish that the seed generates the manifest at different times, before and after. They cite the Abhidharmasamuccaya and other works, saying: 'There is the eye [faculty] that is not the eye-element (cakṣurdhātu),' and so on. Furthermore, the Yogācārabhūmi says: 'An impermanent dharma serves as a cause for an other-nature, and also serves as a cause for its own nature in a subsequent moment; not in this very moment.' Because 'not in this very moment' extends through the preceding cause for an other-nature, cause and effect are not simultaneous.
