1. Apart from the cause of form, form is not perceived. Apart from "form", the cause of form also does not appear.
[Ts. 128 gives "the eye etc."as examples of "form" and "the four elements" as examples of the "causes of form."

2. If there were form apart from the cause of form, it would follow that form is without cause; there is no object at all that is without cause.

3. If a cause of form existed apart from form, it would exist as a cause without fruit; causes without fruit do not exist.

4. If form existed, a cause of form would be untenable; if form did not exist, a cause of form would be untenable.
________________________________
།རྒྱུ་མེད་པ་ཡི་གཟུགས་དག་ནི།

5. rgyu med pa yi gzugs dag ni/

5. Forms which do not have a cause are not at all tenable. Therefore, do not conceive the concept of form at all*.
- [Ts. 129-30 explains "rung min pa nyid" in line b as being an added emphasis. To "not conceive of the concept of form" he regards as unworthy for the yogin who beholds reality. He cites Buddhapalita, who explains how it is "inappropriate," in contrast to "how appropriate it would be to reflect on non-abiding."]

6. 'bras bu rgyu dang 'dra ba zhes/

6. It is untenable to say, "the fruit is like the cause." It is also untenable to say, "the fruit is unlike the cause."
