## Karika 42, 43] Devagam
**37. Is it possible?** - No, it is not possible. Therefore, **Kshanikaikant** (momentary existence) is not worthy of respect for those who are examining (the truth).
**Karika 42:**
If the **karma** (action) is completely **asat** (non-existent), then it is like a flower in the sky. If **asat** is also considered to be produced, then there is no rule for the **upadan** (material cause) and there is no belief in the birth of **karma**. (If we sow wheat, we cannot expect wheat to grow according to the rule of the **upadan** cause. Due to the production of **asat**, chickpeas, barley, or peas can also grow, and therefore we cannot be certain about any production work. All social behavior is disrupted, and this is against direct experience.)
**Karika 43:**
(Furthermore) In **Kshanikaikant**, **hetu-phal-bhava** (cause-effect-state) etc. are not formed, because there is no complete **anvaya** (connection) between them. There is a complete **anyabhava** (difference) between them, like **santananantara** (successive births). (If it is said that the **santana** (lineage) of the previous and subsequent moments is one, then this is not correct, because what is one **santana**...)
