Verse 400

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

तस्मिन्सति हि कार्याणामुत्पादस्तदभावतः ।
अनुत्पादात्स एवैवं हेतुत्वेन व्यवस्थितः ॥ ४०० ॥

tasminsati hi kāryāṇāmutpādastadabhāvataḥ |
anutpādātsa evaivaṃ hetutvena vyavasthitaḥ || 400 ||

The effects would in that case be produced only when the said ‘condition’ is there,—and they would not be produced when the ‘condition’ is not there and thus it would be this ‘condition’ that would have to be regarded as their cause.—(400)

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

When ‘it’—i.e., the said condition—is there.—‘Thus’, i.e., from the positive and negative concomitance just pointed out.—(400)
