साध्यपदोपादानात् ।
(३४) यद्वा घटाकाशसंयोग-घटत्वान्यतराभावाभावोऽतिरिक्त एव, घटाकाशसंयोगादीनामननुगततया तथात्वस्य वक्तुमशक्यत्वात् । घटत्वद्रव्यत्वाद्यभावाभावस्तु नातिरिक्तः, घटत्वद्रव्यत्वादीनामप्यनु
etc. which exist in that which is different from that which has 'that which is to be established abides in the substratum of the reason, the term 'that which is to be established' is included.
(34) Or the absence of an absence of one of the jar-ness and the conjunction of ether and jar is different from positive entity because the conjunction of jar and ether etc. has no consecutive attributives as positive entity. Therefore this can not be said, the absence of absence of jar-ness and substanceness etc. are consecutive attributives. Therefore to
'sadhya' only the word absence is used, there would be the fault of too narrow application, because the absence which exists in lake etc., which is locus of the absence of sadhya fire is the absence of absence of substance-ness which has identity with substanceness, the locus of this absence is mountain where smoke exists, therefore there is not the absence is of that occurrence, there is the fault of too narrow application, when the word 'sadhya' is being used in the definition, there would not be the possibility of the fault of impossibility. The absence of sadhya which exists in water, is the absence of fire, the locus of it is water etc., the occurrence which indicated by water does not exists in smoke therefore there is no chance of fault of impossibility.
