D. C.-Consider whether svabhava is murta or a-murta. If it is murta, svabhava will be nothing but a synonym of Karman. Moreover, the property of sadris'ata will never be applied if svabhava is murta, because like milk, or like the murta clouds having a number of forms, svabhava will also possess a number of parinamas.
If svabhava is a-murta, then also, like akas'a it does not become the hetu of s'arira because of the absence of upakaranas. Secondly, an incorporeal karana can never produce a corporeal karya. So, svabhāva should not be called a-murta when the karyas of svabhava such as the perception of sukha, duhkha etc. are murta.t
Now the second alternative viz. that svabhava is niskāranatā is discussed
अहवाsकारणउचिय सभावओ तोवि सरिया को । किमकारणओ न भवे विसरिसया किं व विच्छित्ती॥२४३॥ (१७९१)
Ahavā kāraṇau cciya sabhavao tovi sarisayā katto | Kimakāraṇao na bhave visarisaya kim va vicchittî 1243 (1791) [ अथवाsकारणत एव स्वभावतस्ततोऽपि सदृशता कुतः ।
किमकारणतो न भवेद् विसदृशता किंवा विच्छित्तिः ॥२४३॥ (१७९१) Athava'karaṇata eva svabavatastato'pi sadrisata kutaḥ Kimakaraṇato na bhaved visadriśata kim va vicchittiḥ ? 2431]
Trans.-243 Or, if (bhavantara is produced) by virtue of svabhava (and) without any reason, whence is sadriśată
