CHAPTER III
[ 113
those cows and hundreds of other cows differing in point of colour or size are all identical for Cowness is common to them all. . Thus if there are words that find oneness in things apparently differing from one another, those words are reliable because they establish oneness. among things widely different from one another, 3, 4.
The following two verses explain as to how the attributes of existence as well as of non-existence are possible in one and the same thing :
परपज्जवेहिं असरिसगमेहिं णियमेण णिच्चमवि नथि। सरिसेहिं पि वंजणश्रो अत्थि ण पुणऽत्थपज्जाए ॥५॥ पच्चुप्पण्णम्मि वि पज्जयम्मि भयणागइ पडइ दव्वं । जं एगगुणाईया अणंतकप्पा गमविसेसा ॥६॥
(5) Every thing is non-existent from the standpoint of dissimilar particulars that are absolutely different from the thing.
Even among things that are similar a thing exists from Vyañjana-paryāya point. of view and does not exist from Arthaparyāya point of view.
(6) Even as regards the present state a substance is both different and not different
