COMMENTARY

In this Sutra the author criticizes the view that Avidya, etc., give rise to the terms in their subsequent series. He shows that Avidya, etc., cannot stand even in causal relation to the next term in the series. The Buddhists being the upholders of the doctrine of momentary existence of everything, admit that when a thing comes into existence in a subsequent moment, the thing that existed in the preceding moment has totally ceased to exist. An effect produced in a subsequent moment is the result of the total destruction of the cause that existed in the preceding moment. This being their doctrine, the series of Avidya, etc., cannot stand to each other in the relation of cause and effect. For the cause having totally ceased to exist cannot stand in the relation of the originator to the effect which comes into existence in the subsequent moment Because we always perceive that the cause subsists in the effect as the thread subsists in the cloth. But the Buddhists hold that existence originates front nonexistence, for they maintain that the effect cannot manifest without the destruction of the cause, the tree cannot appear until the seed is destroyed.

This view is next refuted by the author.
