第五、生滅者，於中亦二重：初中四句，依前後起是無生義，以不由自能起故，引後是不滅義，以有功能故，俱、不俱，准思之。又前念滅故不生，後念起故不滅，俱、不俱，思之。

Fifth, regarding arising and ceasing: herein there are also two layers. First, among the four propositions: arising in reliance upon the preceding and succeeding is the meaning of non-arising, because it cannot arise on its own; inducing the posterior is the meaning of non-ceasing, because it has efficacy. Both and neither should be contemplated accordingly. Furthermore, because the preceding thought-moment ceases, there is non-arising; because the posterior thought-moment arises, there is non-ceasing. Both and neither should be contemplated.
