## Triṣaṣṭitāma Parva 176
**56.** If you accept the momentariness of both (the individual and the stream of existence), then your position will be abandoned and my position will be established.
**57.** Therefore, O Bhadra, your view is fabricated by the low-minded Buddhists, and it is merely a figment of imagination. Do not waste your effort on it.
**58.** Hearing this well-spoken argument, the wise Vajrayudha said, "O Saugata, listen carefully, with your mind elevated and having attained equanimity."
**59.** The fault you have pointed out, based on the false view of momentary annihilation, cannot harm those who drink the nectar of Syādvāda, which flows from the mouth of the Jina, the moon-like embodiment of truth.
**60.** Because of the difference in designation, name, intellect, and other signs, there is a difference between dharma and dharmin (the principle and the possessor of the principle), and because of the reliance on the principle of non-duality, there is also unity.
**61.** According to the principle of substance and attribute, there is non-duality between the individual and the stream of existence, or between the momentary and the continuous, but according to the principle of practical reality, there is duality.
**62.** The stream of existence, which exists in the three times (past, present, and future), is considered to be an unbroken continuity because of the cause-and-effect relationship between the skandhas (aggregates).
**63.** Even though the skandhas are momentary, the karmic effect of the stream of existence remains. When this effect remains, the enjoyment of its fruits is also established in our view.
**64.** This refutation is like trying to tie a wild elephant with a castor oil plant. It cannot protect your position.
**65.** We ask, is the stream of existence, which arises from the skandhas, different from or non-different from the individual? If it is different, why do we not see it as separate from the individual? Since we do not see it as separate, it is not different from the individual.
**66.** If you accept your fabricated stream of existence as non-different from the individual, then even the Buddha cannot prevent its emptiness. Because the individual is momentary, the stream of existence, which is non-different from it, is also momentary.
