unimpeded (i.e. not dependent upon external efficient causes [nimittta-kāraṇa] how can the network of cause and effect be manifest? For in truth, that (external efficient cause) cannot negate (the process of) your becoming. Similarly, in this world, the substance (i.e. the material cause [upādāna-kāraṇa] cannot negate the production of (external) causes. (Thus, from the non-conventional point of view, independence of the material and efficient causes is affirmed.) (14) [464]
