FOREWORD
namely, the existence of the sign in the minor term, the existence of the sign in homologue, non-existence of the sign in heterologäe. The second kind of inference is caused by explaining the middle term with the three qualities. When the middle term has only one or two qualities it is called a fallacious reason.
1. This is not correct. The middle term POSSÉSSES only one quality and not three. That will be called a correct reason which has invariable concomitance with the major term. Therë are reasons which are not endowed with the three qualities, but may be valid in inference, as they have Anyathanupapatti, for example, both existence and non-existence exist because they are knowable. Here the middle term has neither homlogue nor heterologue both being minor terms.
Patrasvamine 2. If the existence of the sign in the minor term, etc. are the necessary attributes of the middle term, then how can the rising of the moon be the reason of the opening of the lotus and the flowtide of the sea ? This reason does not possess the three qualitiek.
.3. In the inference for others the thesis is also the first parti of the reasoning, besides these three limbs. If the thesis is not accepted, then how without knowing the major terim can the bomologtie and the bioterologue be ascertained ? So the thesis is to be accepted as one of the limbs ( avayavas ) in inference.
4. Application should also be accepted as an ackditional limb of the inference for others. Diandga refused it in view of the fact that it becomes & repetition by the statement of reason. But really it is not a ropotitioti, because the statement of reason does not furnish the existence of the sign in the minor terra; titiile the application does 80 and therefore becomes necessary.
Bhdvivikta. . . Conclusion sloo is a part of the inference for othecs. But Dihinaga refused it, because he thought it might be a repetition of the thesis and the middle term. But really it is not so, borot tenue the proposition gives an tees of the major tem which is to be establir shout there the middle tert, while concludit state the number
