## Samantabhadra-Bharati
[Chapter 3] When there is an absence of factors, and consequently an absence of the knower, where can proof and the fruit of proof, which is pramiti (samyagjnapti - true knowledge), be formed? - They cannot be formed. In the absence of these and the knower, the establishment of the jiva-tattva does not occur in the Sankhyas who take the side of eternalism and monism, and the arrangement of any other tattva does not sit right.
What is the reaction to the eternality of proof and factors?
"If the proof and factors are clearly manifest, like the sense organs and their objects, and they are eternal, then what kind of transformation can there be? They are outside the bounds of your teachings." (38)
(If the Sankhya-mat-vaadis say that the unmanifest substance, which is the cause, is completely eternal, and the manifest substance, which is the effect, is not eternal, but we consider it to be non-eternal, and therefore transformation occurs in our system, then such a statement is not correct; because) just as the sense organs manifest their objects, the 'proofs and factors' by which the unmanifest is shown to be manifest, both these proofs and factors, when considered completely eternal, what kind of transformation can they produce? No action in the form of transformation can be produced by something completely eternal, nor can any non-eternal effect occur. O Sadho! - O Vira Bhagavan! - Outside the bounds of your teachings, outside the limits of the anekantavada that you have accepted, there is no place for transformation in the complete monism of eternality - the production or manifestation of non-eternal effects from completely eternal causes cannot occur, and therefore the aforementioned idea is based on delusion.
If the effect is completely real, then there is no production etc. "If the effect is completely real, then it is not worthy of being produced. The fulfillment of the result and the satisfaction of the cause are both obstacles to the monism of eternality." (39)
