Comment: There are six types of causes: fruitional cause (rnam smin gyi rgyu), co-arisen cause (lhan cig byung ba'i rgyu), creative cause (byed rgyu), cause of similar lot (skal mnyam gyi rgyu), omnipresent cause (kun 'gro'i rgyu), and * (mtshungs ldan gyi rgyu). 

There are five types of association: 

(1) object of observation (དམིགས་པ་); 

(2) aspect (རྣམ་པ་); 

(3) basis (རྟེན་); 

(4) time (དུས་); 

(5) substantial entity (རྫས་).
