kāraṇa- / hetu- attha

karoti attano phalanti kāraṇaṃ: that which produces its own result is called a cause

• note:

  • all vibhattis can express cause
  • not to be confused with karaṇa (instrument)
• e.g.:

  • avijjānirodhā saṅkhāranirodho (with the cessation of ignorance, formations cease)
  • kasmā hetunā? (for what reason?)

• 3 hetus

  • janaka hetu (generative cause): that which produces something
    • avijjāpaccayā saṅkhārā
    • (:q: clarify the sense of production here)
  • ñāpaka hetu (indicative cause): that which indicates or informs something
    • hutvā abhāvato’niccā, udayabbayapīḷanā dukkhā avasavattittā, anattāti tilakkhaṇaṃ (because they arise and cease, they are impermanent; because they are oppressed by arising and ceasing, they are suffering; because they are not under control, they are non-self)
  • guṇa hetu (qualitative cause): an internal quality as cause
    • sīlato naṃ pasaṃsanti (they praise him because of his virtue)
      • bhante: seems janaka because his virtue generates praise
    • avijjānirodhā saṅkhāranirodho (with the cessation of ignorance, volitional formations cease)
      • both can refer to Nibbāna; one does not produce the next; each is a quality of Nibbāna; thus guṇa
