16. If a cause is empty of fruit, how can it produce fruit? If a cause is not empty of fruit, how can it produce fruit?
 
 
 
['''Ts.''' 353 appears to read stong in this context as simply "absent". This verse and 17-18 indicate N's fluid, non-dogmatic use of the term "empty".]

18. How would empty [fruit] be produced? And how would the empty stop? It follows that that empty too is unstoppable and also unproducable.
 
 
 
[ '''Ts.''' 354 gets round this by saying: "How would fruit which is empty of inherent existence be intrinsically produced? And how would it stop by its own nature?" This adds something that is not there in Nagarjuna in order to conform to Ts's insistence that stong pa ALWAYS means rang bzhin gyis stong pa.]

21. If fruit existed essentially, what would a cause produce? If fruit did not exist essentially, what would a cause produce?
 
 
 
['''Ts.''' 354-5 has the same difficulty as in 16-18 with l. c-d. He explains that a non-inherently existing fruit would not be produced by a cause in the sense that non-inherently existence things are also non-inherently existent. This is another example of '''Ts.''' forcing Nagarjuna into his interpretative scheme. It also shows '''Ts.''' as somewhat "incurable". G. 266 also fudges this difficulty: "from the ultimate standpoint it does not arise."]
