1.2.2. Exposition Chapter on Causes, etc. (Hetu Varadi Uddesavāra Niddessa)

  1. All faultless states.
  2. Are they all faultless causes?
  • i+ii Only three are faultless causes (which are both faultless states and faultless causes)
  1. The remaining ones are faultless states, not faultless causes … faultless sources … faultless bases … faultless originations … faultless geneses … faultless nutriments … faultless supports … faultless conditions … faultless origins.

All faulty states. All indeterminate states. All mental states. Are they all mental causes? … mental sources … mental bases … mental originations mental geneses … mental nutriments … mental supports … mental conditions … mental origins.

Thus: Root, Cause, Source. Bases, Origination, Genesis, Nutriment, Support, Condition and Origin.
