## Devagam-Aapta-Mimamsa
It is only through the principle of *anekanta* (non-absolutism) that the true nature of things can be understood. Otherwise, no object can have its own independent form. For example, the nature of the agent is not independent of the action, and the nature of the action is not independent of the agent. Similarly, the nature of the knower is not independent of the known, and the nature of the known is not independent of the knower. However, their interaction is certainly interdependent. In the same way, the nature of dharma, dharmi, etc. is self-evident, but their interaction is interdependent. Thus, in this chapter, the principle of *anekanta* is established by applying the seven-fold scheme of *saptabhangi* to the opposing pair of *apeksha* (dependence) and *anapeksha* (independence).
## Sixth Chapter
The sixth chapter, through three karikas (76-78), exposes the flaws in the absolute views of *hetuvad* (reasoning) and *ahetuvad* (non-reasoning) and establishes their harmony (anekanta-sthapan) through the application of *saptabhangi*.
Karika 76 argues that accepting the truth of objects solely through *hetuvad* leads to the absurdity of denying the knowledge of objects through direct perception and other proofs. Similarly, accepting everything as true based on *agama* (scriptural authority) leads to the absurdity of accepting contradictory principles and their corresponding elements as true.
Karika 77 demonstrates the flaws in both *ubhayakanta* (dualistic view) and *avachyatekanta* (view of the inexpressible) by showing that the term "avachya" itself cannot express the inexpressible.
The final karika (78) of this chapter, while pointing out that the truth of objects can be established through both *hetuvad* and *ahetuvad*, demonstrates the *anekanta* nature of truth through *saptabhangi*. It states that where there is no authoritative speaker, the truth of the object is established through reasoning and is called *hetu-sadhit* (reason-established). However, where there is an authoritative speaker, the truth of the object is established through their words and is called *agama-sadhit* (scripture-established). Thus, the means of establishing the truth of an object (*upaya-tattva*) - *hetuvad* and *ahetuvad* - are also *anekanta* in nature.
## Seventh Chapter
This chapter contains nine karikas (79-87) that expose the flaws in accepting individual absolute views like *jnanakanta* (absolute view of knowledge) and *bahyarthakanta* (absolute view of external objects) and establish the faultless *anekanta*.
