[The fourth
Sarvabhave'pi matih samde haḥ svapnaka iva, no tacca Yat smaranadinimittaḥ svapno na tu sarvatha'bhavaḥ 154|| (1702)]
Trans-154 It is improper to believe that inspite of allpervading negation, doubt does spring up in a dream. For, dream consists of (a number of) nimittas like remembrance etc. and it is not absolutely non-existent. (1702)

D. C-In support of the belief that doubt springs up even in sarvabhava, an opponent may advance an argument as follows Just as in a dream, a poor pauper raises a doubt and questions whether there is an elephant or a mountain before his house, though, in fact, nothing exists like that; so, also, at other places, doubt can be raised inspite of the absolute abhava of things. Thus we can say that even though, there is sarvabhava, sams'aya does exist in dream.
But the above argument is totally groundless. In dream, doubt arises on account of various reasons. Say for instance, when an object is seen or experienced, the remembrance of that experience etc. gives rise to the doubt. So, for the rise of doubt in the dream there is some sort of reason which brings the dream-and hence the doubt-into existence. Thus doubt arises from an existent object and not from the absolute abhava of it.
But, suppose, even then, if you believe that the samdeha springs up from the absolute abhava also, the doubt should
