Visuddhimagga XVII-6

 So panāyaṃ tehi tehi paccayehi anūnādhikeheva tassa tassa dhammassa sambhavato tathatāti,

这（缘起）由于这样不少不多的缘而发生那样的法，故说「如性」；

Ñ(XVII,6): Because particular states are produced by particular conditions, neither less nor more, it is called reality (suchness).

sāmaggiṃ upagatesu paccayesu muhuttampi tato nibbattadhammānaṃ asambhavābhāvato avitathatāti,

因为诸缘和合之时，虽一须臾，想不从此而发生诸法是不可能的。所以说「不违如性」。

Ñ: Because once the conditions have met in combination there is no non-producing, even for an instant, of the states they generate, it is called not unreality (not unsuchness).

aññadhammapaccayehi aññadhammānuppattito anaññathatāti,

不能由其它诸法的（生起之）缘而生起别的法，所以说「不他性」；

Ñ: Because there is no arising of one state with another state's conditions, it is called not otherness.

yathāvuttānaṃ etesaṃ jarāmaraṇādīnaṃ paccayato vā paccayasamūhato vā idappaccayatāti vutto.

是上面所述的此等老死等的缘之故，或为它们的缘的聚合之故，说为「此缘性」。

Ñ: Because there is a condition, or because there is a total of conditions, for these states beginning with ageing-and-death as already stated, it is called specific conditionality.
