Sometimes there is prefixed to it the words “ when this exists, that exists ; with the arising of this that arises ” ; and to the negative form “ when this does not exist, that does not exist ; with the cessation of this that ceases ”. Here the causal law is stated generally, but it is interpreted in terms of the Formula ; cf. Udāna, i, 1, and Vin., i, 1.
