[The first Some one may say that this argument is anaihāntiha ( vicious ); for, the śabda (sound ) which is the guņa of ākāša (space) is pratyaksa yet akasa is not pratyaksa. But this is not correct; for, sabda is not the guņa of ākāśa, but Sabda ( sound ) is rather the guna of pudgala (matter ) as it is aindriyaka (cognizable by the sense-organs ) as is the case with colour, etc.
When the guņas are pratyahşa, how is it that the gunin is also of this type ?
The answer is :अन्नोऽणनो व गुणी होज गुणेहि, जइ नाम सोऽणनो। ननु गुणमेत्तग्गहणे घेप्पइ जीवो गुणी सक्खं ॥११॥ (१५५९) Anno'nanno va guni hojja gundhim jai nāma so'nannot Nanu gunamdttaggahand ghdppai jivo guni sakkham. 11 (1559) [अन्योऽनन्यो वा गुणी भवेद् गुणैः, यदि नाम सोऽनन्यः ।
ननु गुणमात्रग्रहणे गृह्यते जीवो गुणी साक्षात् ॥ ११॥ (१५५९) Anyo'nanyo vā guņi bhavdd guņaiḥ, yadi näma so'nanyah Nanu guņamātragraband grhyatè jīvo guņi saksāt. (1559) )
अह अन्नो ती एवं गुणिनो न घडादओ वि पचक्खा। गुणमेत्तग्गहणाओ जीवम्मि कउ विचारोऽयं ? ॥१२॥ (१५६०) Aha anno to dvam gunino na ghadādaö vi paccakkhā i Gupamottaggahanao jivammi kaii vicāro'yam ? 12 (1560) [अथान्यस्तत एवं गुणिनो न घटादयोऽपि प्रत्यक्षाः ।
गुणमात्रग्रहणाजीवे कुतो विचारोऽयम् ॥ १२ ।। (१५६०) Athāngastata dvam gunino na gbaţādayo'pi pratyakşāḥ | Gunanatragrahanajjivd kuto vicāro'yam ? 12 (1560)]
Trans.-11-12. The guyin may be either distinct from or identical with gunas. If it is really identical (with the gunas),
