एकनाशे द्वितीयस्य यद्भावो दिनरात्रिवत् ।
कार्यकारणभावोऽसौ विनाशपरिणामजः ॥ ८५ ॥

ekanāśe dvitīyasya yadbhāvo dinarātrivat |
kāryakāraṇabhāvo'sau vināśapariṇāmajaḥ || 85 ||

The other is named the antecedent or preterite cause, which disappears before the appearance of its consequent effect; as the disappearance of the day is the cause of its subsequent night; and the preteriteness of the night, causes the retardation of the following day.
