1. When asked, "is a before-extreme evident?" the great Muni said, "it is not." Samsara has no beginning, no end; it has no before, no after.

2. For that without beginning [and] end, where can a middle be in that? Therefore, it is not possible for it to have before, after, and simultaneous phases.

3. gal te skye ba snga gyur la/

3. If birth were before and aging / death after, there would be birth without aging / death and also without dying one would be born.

4. If birth were after and aging / death before, how could there be an uncaused aging / death which has no birth?

5. It is not suitable for birth and aging / death to be simultaneous; that which is being born would be dying and both would be without cause.

6. Why fixate on that birth, that aging / dying, for which the phases of before, after, simultaneity are impossible?
