答：雖見色身，不知彼身有之所因，以見不踰五百劫故。既彼身有，不見因生，所以今身不以所見，即身而起。有惑者云：宿命、尋、伺皆不能憶，無想沒後，出心前事，名二無因。此由見《疏》答、問之中而以二義，唯約無想以答前難，因致斯迷，學者應知。

> Answer: Although they see the material body, they do not know the cause of that body's existence, because their vision does not exceed five hundred kalpas. Since that body exists and they do not see its arising from a cause, the present body is not regarded as arising from the seen body. A confused person says: 'Neither recollection of past lives nor reasoning and investigation can remember events prior to the mind emerging after demise from non-ideation; these are called the two causelessnesses.' This misconception arose because they saw that the question and answer in the Commentary used two meanings solely regarding non-ideation to answer the previous objection. Students should know this.
