問:此因果為前後俱?答:或俱時,或因前果後,亦無定說,境亦同此。彼云:謂於業果諸諦、寶中,業果即諦,總是此《論》實事、理也業中。《雜集》但云:樂欲所依為業,不說治業。《顯揚》五業初一治業,餘四即此樂善為業。廣中《五蘊》、《顯揚》並無,《雜集》廣體。此《論》具廣,隨作者意,皆不相違。

Question: Are this cause and effect sequential or simultaneous? Answer: Either simultaneous, or the cause precedes and the effect follows; there is no fixed statement, and the object is likewise. That treatise says: 'Namely regarding karma and its fruit, the truths, and the treasures'; karma and its fruit are precisely the truths, which altogether are the real facts and principles of this Śāstra. Among activities, the Samuccaya merely says: 'Serving as the basis for desire is its activity', without mentioning the activity of counteracting. Among the five activities in the Prakaraṇārya, the first one is the counteracting activity, and the remaining four are this activity of delighting in the wholesome. In the extensive and intermediate accounts, neither the Pañcaskandhaka nor the Prakaraṇārya has it; the Samuccaya expands on the essence. This Śāstra expands completely; according with the author's intention, none of them are contradictory.
