TATTVASANGRAHA : CHAPTER X.
It has been argued by the other party (under Tett 561, above) that ** the Yarns and the Cloth are distinot things, because their makers and potencies are different, etc. etc."
The answer to this is as follows:
TEXTS (579-590). IP IT IS THE DIFFERENCE OF THE CLOTH FROM THE VERY FIRST YARNS THAT IS SOUGHT TO BE PROVED, THEN THERE IS THE IRRESISTIBLE DBFECT OF FUTILITY THOSE OTHER YARNS ALSO THAT APPEAR LATER ON, IN ANOTHER STATE
(FORM), CAPABLE OF A PABTICULAR KIND OF USEFUL ACTION, -ARE NOT ENTIRELY DIFFERINT IN CHARACTER FROM THOSE
FIRST YARNS.—(679-580)
COMMENTARY.

BUT THESE (YARNS) DO NOT SERVE TO PROVE THI Cloth, WHICH IS SYNCHRONOUS WITH THOSE YARNS, AS HAVING A DIFFERENT MAKER AND DIFFERENT POTENCIES AND DIFFERENT SIZE.-(581-583)
COMMENTARY
If the Cloth existing at the same time as the yarns were at the time actually known as something different from the yarns, then, in comparison
