Sanskrit:  असति प्रतिज्ञोपरोधो यौगपद्यमन्यथा  .  
English:  (If it be contended that the effect arises) even when there is no cause, then your assertion (of causation) will be stultified; else (if you contend that the entity of the earlier moment continues till the entity of the later moment emerges), the cause and effect will exist simultaneously.
