## Karika 73
**Devaagam** states that there is no inherent order in anything. If we accept this relative truth, then both **Neel-lakshana** (blue characteristic) and **Neel-gyaan** (knowledge of blue) are also without order, because both are relative like a qualifier and the qualified.
Those who are entirely relative in their existence have no order, just like two people drowning in a river, holding onto each other, have no order (both are drowning). Similarly, **Neel** and **Neel-gyaan** are entirely relative in their existence. **Neel** cannot be established without **Neel-gyaan**, because without it, the possibility of **Agyeyatva** (unknowability) arises, and it becomes **Tatha-sanvedan-nishtha** (dependent on perception). And **Neel-gyaan** cannot be established without **Neel**, because **Neel-gyaan** gains its self-benefit from **Neel**, otherwise it becomes **nivishayatva** (object of knowledge), and Buddhists do not consider knowledge as an object.
Thus, the absence of one leads to the absence of the other, resulting in the absence of both **Neel** and **Neel-gyaan**. When both knowledge and the object of knowledge cease to exist, the possibility of **Sarva-shunyata** (absolute emptiness) arises.
Seeing the flaws in this relative truth, if **Yog-matvadi** (follower of Yoga philosophy) argues that "**Dharma-dharmi** (object and its attribute) are not entirely relative but are **anapeksha** (non-relative), because **Dharma-dharmi** is the subject of **pratinayat-buddhi** (constant intellect), like the nature of **Nola** (a specific type of flower), and without **anapeksha** (non-relativity), **pratinayat-buddhi** cannot be the subject," then this argument is not correct. Because even in **anapeksha** (non-relativity), **anvaya-vyatireka** (affirmation and negation) do not occur. **Anvaya** refers to the general, and **vyatireka** refers to the specific. Both exist only in relation to each other. If we accept their **anapeksha** (non-relativity), then neither the general nor the specific remains stable.
Even in **pratinayat-buddhi** (constant intellect) subjects, **pratinayat-padarthata** (constant objectness) exists relatively, like **Neel** (blue) and **Peet** (yellow). If we accept **Neel** and **Peet** as **anapeksha** (non-relative), then we cannot determine that this is **Neel** and this is **Peet**.
