 Now, one might attempt to resolve this problem by pointing out that just as putative effects are occasional entities, i.e., they appear now and then, so also are all their causal conditions occasional entities. So, causal relevance and occasionality can indeed be properties of the same entity. Thus, there is no violation of the principle of explanation. Śrīharṣa shows that this leads to an infinite regress of explanations. To explain the occasionality of a putative effect, we appeal to another occasional entity, namely its causal condition. But then in order to explain the occasionality of this causal condition, we would have appeal to yet another causal condition, thus launching us on an explanatory regress.
