yadi tarhi kāryabhedādapyapekṣā, hanta! arthakriyābhedādeva bhāvānāṃ parasparāpekṣo bhedaḥ setsyati /
kiṃ cāsatyāmapi darśanādbhedasiddhau vidhimātravyāpāratvātkāryabhedādeva kāraṇabhedamanumimīmahe /
naikatve kāryabhedaḥ kalpate, kāraṇasvabhāvāpekṣatvātkāryabhedasya /
tajjananaścedasya (tajjananaṃ cedasya -- edition) svabhāvaḥ, nānyajananaḥ /
tasmātkāryāntarasyānyato janmeti /
tadidaṃ bhedenaiva bhedaprasādhanaṃ nāticaturaśram /

If, then, dependence arises even from a difference in effect—alas! Difference among entities, depending mutually on one another, will be established from difference in causal efficacy alone!
Moreover, even if difference is not established from perception, because [perception] operates only on positive entities, we infer a difference of causes from the difference of effects alone.
A difference of effects is not intelligible when there is unity, because difference of effects depends on the nature of the cause.
If its nature is the production of that [effect], it is not the production of another.
Therefore, another effect arises from another [cause].
This establishment of difference by means of difference itself is not very sound.
