Original

निःशेषाणि च कार्याणि सकृत्कृत्वा निवर्त्तते ।
सामर्थ्यात्मा स चेदार्थः सिद्धाऽस्य क्षणभङ्गिता ॥ ४१४ ॥

niḥśeṣāṇi ca kāryāṇi sakṛtkṛtvā nivarttate |
sāmarthyātmā sa cedārthaḥ siddhā’sya kṣaṇabhaṅgitā || 414 ||

If the thing possessed of the causal potency disappears, after having brought about all its effects simultaneously,—then its momentariness becomes established.—(414)

Kamalaśīla

That is, does the nature of the thing consisting in its capacity for effective action disappear, after having brought about all the effects simultaneously? Or does it continue to exist?—These are the only two alternatives possible.—If it is held that it disappears, then that establishes its momentary character; as at each moment fresh natures would be appearing, one after the other, each preceding nature becoming destroyed by itself.—(414)
