na saṃbhavaḥ svabhāvasya yuktaḥ pratyayahetubhiḥ /
hetupratyayasaṃbhūtaḥ svabhāvaḥ kṛtako bhavet

svabhāvaḥ kṛtako nāma bhaviṣyati punaḥ katham /
akṛtrimaḥ svabhāvo hi nirapekṣaḥ paratra ca

kutaḥ svabhāvasyābhāve parabhāvo bhaviṣyati /
svabhāvaḥ parabhāvasya parabhāvo hi kathyate

svabhāvaparabhāvābhyām ṛte bhāvaḥ kutaḥ punaḥ /
svabhāve parabhāve ca sati bhāvo hi sidhyati

bhāvasya ced aprasiddhir abhāvo naiva sidhyati /
bhāvasya hy anyathābhāvam abhāvaṃ bruvate janāḥ

svabhāvaṃ parabhāvaṃ ca bhāvaṃ cābhāvam eva ca /
ye paśyanti na paśyanti te tattvaṃ buddhaśāsane

kātyāyanāvavāde cāstīti nāstīti cobhayam /
pratiṣiddhaṃ bhagavatā bhāvābhāvavibhāvinā

yady astitvaṃ prakṛtyā syān na bhaved asya nāstitā /
prakṛter anyathābhāvo na hi jātūpapadyate

prakṛtau kasya vāsatyām anyathātvaṃ bhaviṣyati /
prakṛtau kasya vā satyām anyathātvaṃ bhaviṣyati

astīti śāśvatagrāho nāstīty ucchedadarśanam /
tasmād astitvanāstitve nāśrīyeta vicakṣaṇaḥ

asti yad dhi svabhāvena na tan nāstīti śāśvatam /
nāstīdānīm abhūt pūrvam ity ucchedaḥ prasajyate
