asati pratijñoparodho yaugapadyamanyathā ..2.2.21..

.. Asati, if there was non-existence, if the effect originates from the non-existence of the cause. …. Pratijna, admitted principle. … Uparodhah, contradiction, .. Yaugapadyam, simultaneousness. Anyatha, otherwise.

21. If the cause ceases to exist when the effect manifests itself, then there results contradiction of the admitted principle that the universe is caused by the Skandhas. Otherwise there would arise simultaneousness of the cause and effect. — 194.

COMMENTARY

The admitted principle of the Buddhists is that the world originates from the Skandhas. If, therefore, it be said that an effect may originate even when the cause is totally non-existent, then it would contradict the admitted principle. Non-existence being present everywhere, any thing will arise anywhere, always. If, however, it be said that the antecedent momentary existence of the cause lasts so long as the effect does not originate, then we are landed in the other difficulty, namely, the cause and the effect exist simultaneously together, for the cause would then remain in the effect. This would also go against the accepted doctrine of the Buddhists that everything is momentary merely. Therefore, it follows that the effect does not originate from non-existence.

The author next refutes the tenet that there can be absolute annihilation of the substance. The Buddhists hold that substances like jar, etc., totally cease to exist like the flame of the lamp. The author disproves this theory next.
