問:「有性有法,有一實因,不相關預,云何不是兩俱不成?」答:「有性有法是實、德、業之能有性,有一實因,能有於一一實故,是宗之法,故無兩俱。此非實句為一宗已,非德、非業,後二宗法有法同前。此二因云有德、業故,謂能有彼德之與業,如言有色亦屬著義。」

Question: 'The subject "existence" and the reason "possessing one substance" are unrelated; why is this not unestablished for both parties (ubhayāsiddha)?' Answer: 'The subject "existence" is the possessing nature of substance, quality, and action; and the reason "possessing one substance" means being able to possess each individual substance; therefore, it is a property of the subject (pakṣadharmatā), so there is no fault of being unestablished for both. This category "not substance" having formed one thesis, in the latter two theses, "not quality" and "not action", the predicate and the subject are as before. The reasons for these two say: "because it possesses quality and action", meaning being able to possess that quality and that action, just as saying "possessing form" also has the meaning of pertenence.'
