## Karika 58
**From the perspective of the substance, which is present in all states or in the states of the past, present, and future, there is neither production nor destruction.** Because the manifestation is in the form of anuvaya (inherence), the general nature of the substance, which is the nature of the substance, remains constant in all its states.
(If it is said that the cut nails and hair grow again, then there is a contradiction in the perception of anuvaya, because both production and destruction are seen in them, whereas they should not be there due to anuvaya. It is not correct to say so, because the qualifier 'vyakti' (individual) is attached to anuvaya, which indicates that it should not be contradicted by the ekatanvaya (one-ness) proof. Here, these nails, etc., are the same, which is contradicted by the ekatanvaya proof, because the produced nails, etc., are not the same but are similar to those that have been cut.)
**From the perspective of the specific state or difference, the object is destroyed and produced.** The simultaneous presence of production, destruction, and permanence in one object is called 'sat' (being), as is known from the sutrakar's statement 'utpada-vyaya-dhrauvya-yuktam sat' (being is that which is endowed with production, destruction, and permanence).
The difference of production, etc., and being independent, is the production of the object, the destruction is due to the cause, and the rule is different from the characteristic. They are not independent of the state of the species, etc., like a flower on a tree. || 58 ||
(If it is said that the production of the object is due to the cause, and the destruction is without a cause, then it is contradicted by the rule that the cause of the production of the object is also the cause of the destruction of the material cause. This contradicts the Buddhists' claim that production is caused and destruction is uncaused.)
