The usual translation “formula of cusality” is not quite correct, for the doctrine is not of a succession of cause and effect, but is that of a mutually interdependent conditionality. The established formula runs thus: "If there is this, then there appears that." \*Cf.\* Th. \*Stcherbatsky\*, The Conception of Buddhist Nirvāṇa, Leningrad, 1927, p. 39 ff. - [Previous: v2.c19.s6.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.10) - [Next: v2.c19.s6.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.12) - [Up: v2.c19.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.11) · Pramāṇa
