答：若非所作可名為常，若是所作，縱所依常亦是無常，覺等十四皆所作故。故彼論說，此十四德皆待因生，待因生者即是所作，故是無常。如彼具明，恐繁不錄。

Answer: If something is not produced, it can be called eternal; if it is produced, then even if that in which it inheres is eternal, it is still impermanent, because cognition and the other [qualities], fourteen in all, are all produced. Thus their treatise says that these fourteen qualities all depend on causes to arise; and that which depends on causes to arise is produced, so it is impermanent. As it is explained in detail there, I will not record it here for fear of verbosity.
