[The Sanskrit terms sambhava ([['byung ba]] - rising) and vibhava ([['jig pa]] - passing) are related to bhava ([[dngos po]] - thing); also cf. svabhava and parabhava.

[['byung]] - [['jig]] does not translate sambhava / vibhava, but udaya / vyaya]. | [The Sanskrit terms sambhava ([['byung ba]] - rising) and vibhava ([['jig pa]] - passing) are related to bhava ([[dngos po]] - thing); also cf. svabhava and parabhava.

Chapter 21. Investigation of Rising and Passing
(Disappearance)

1. /'jig pa 'byung ba med par ram/
/lhan cig yod pa nyid ma yin/
/'byung ba 'jig pa med par ram/
/lhan cig yod pa nyid ma yin//
1. 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].

2. /'jig pa 'byung ba med par ni/
/ji lta bur na yod par 'gyur/
/skye ba med par 'chi bar 'gyur/
/'jig pa 'byung ba med par med//
2. How can passing exist without rising? Is there death without birth? There is no passing without rising.

3. /'jig pa 'byung dang lhan cig tu/
/ji ltar yod pa nyid du 'gyur/
/'chi ba skye dang dus gcig tu/
/yod pa nyid ni ma yin no//
3. How could passing exist together with rising? Death does not exist at the same time as birth.

[Lha. *ji ltar yod pa nyid du 'gyur]
4. How could rising exist without passing? Things are never not impermanent.

6. /gang dag phan tshun lhan cig gam/

6. How can those that are not established either mutually together or not mutually together be established?

7. The finished does not rise; the unfinished too does not rise; the finished does not pass; the unfinished too does not pass.

/'thad pa nyid ni ma yin no/
/mi stong pa la'ang 'byung 'jig dag/
/'thad pa nyid ni ma yin no//

/'byung ba dang ni 'jig pa dag/
/gzhan nyid du yang** mi 'thad do//
[Lha. *ni. **gzhan pa nyid du'ang]
10. Rising and passing cannot possibly be one; rising and passing also cannot possibly be other.

11. /'byung ba dang ni 'jig pa dag/
/mthong ngo snyam du khyod sems na/

13. Things are not created from themselves, nor are they created from something else; they are not created from [both] themselves and something else. How are they created?

/rtag dang chad par lta bar ni/
/thal bar 'gyur te dngos de ni/
/rtag dang mi rtag 'gyur phyir ro//
14. If you assert the existence of things, the views of eternalism and annihilationism will follow, because things are permanent and impermanent.

/'bras bu rgyu yi 'byung 'jig gi/
/rgyun de srid pa yin phyir ro//
15. If you assert the existence of things, eternalism and annihilationism will not be, because the continuity of the rising and passing of cause -effect is becoming.

/rgyun de srid pa yin 'gyur na/
/'jig la yang skye med pa'i phyir/
/rgyu ni chad par thal bar 'gyur//
16. If the continuity of the rising and passing of cause-effect is becoming, because what has passed will not be created again, it will follow that the cause is annihilated.

/dngos med 'gyur bar mi rigs so/
/mya ngan 'das pa'i dus na chad/
/srid rgyun rab tu zhi phyir ro//
17. If things exist essentially, it would be unreasonable [for them] to become nothing. At the time of nirvana [they] would be annihilated, because the continuity of becoming is totally pacified.

/srid pa dang po rigs mi 'gyur/
/tha ma 'gags par ma gyur tshe/
/srid pa dang po rigs mi 'gyur//
18. If the end stops, it is unreasonable for there to be a beginning of becoming. When the end does not stop, it is unreasonable for there to be a beginning of becoming.

/lhan cig tu yang rigs min na/
/phung po gang la 'chi 'gyur ba/
/de la skye ba* 'byung 'gyur ram//
20. If it is also unreasonable for stopping and creating to be together, aren't the aggregates that die also those that are created?
