3.217

似因及緣似因之智為先生，後了似宗智，名似比量。問：「何故似現先標似體，後標似因，此似比中先因後果？」答：「彼之似現由率遇境即便取解，謂為實有，非後籌度，故先標果。此似比量要因在先，後方推度，邪智後起，故先舉因，或復影顯。」三句三文，如次配釋。

When a pseudo-reason and the cognition apprehending that pseudo-reason are produced first, and subsequently a cognition apprehending a pseudo-thesis arises, this is called pseudo-inference. Question: 'Why is it that in pseudo-perception the pseudo-substance was set forth first and the pseudo-cause later, whereas in this pseudo-inference the cause is first and the result later?' Answer: 'Because pseudo-perception directly arrives at an understanding upon suddenly encountering an object, taking it to be real without subsequent deliberation, the result is therefore set forth first. This pseudo-inference, on the other hand, necessarily requires the reason to be prior, followed by deliberation, whereupon the erroneous cognition arises later; thus the reason is mentioned first, or they mutually imply each other.' The three clauses of the three sentences are explained respectively.
