-. Passing does not exist without or together with rising. Rising does not exist without or together with passing.
-[The Sanskrit terms sambhava ([['byung ba]] - rising) and vibhava ([['jig pa]] - passing) are related to bhava ([[dngos po]] - thing); also cf. svabhava and parabhava. So "appearance" and "disappearance" would capture the play on the two words. Note also that in verses 15-16 the Tib. [['byung]] - [['jig]] does not translate sambhava / vibhava, but udaya / vyaya].
