D. C.-Properties like the shape and capacity of the lump of earth, vanish and at the same time, ghata-having its peculiar shape and its capacity of holding water-is produced. The lump of earth is neither produced nor destroyed in the form of rūpa-rasa-gandha-spars'a or dravya. It continues to exist perpetually in these forms. Thus, the lump of earth vanishes in the form of the shape and capacity of ghata, and exists for ever in the form of rūpa, rasa, gandha, spars'a and dravya. Similarly, ghata also vanishes in the form of its former paryāyas, and comes into existence with new paryāyas of ghatākāra, and lasts for ever in the form of paryāyas of rūpa etc. as well as dravya Consequently, it has also the svabhāva of utpatti, vyaya and dhrauvya. Such is not the case with ghata only, but it is the nature of each and every object of the Universe. So, like destructibility, in-destructibility of ghata is also due to the hetus like utpattimattva etc. Consequently, in case of cartanya and ātmā also, the nityatā shoud be admitted. ॥ 416-417 ॥ ( 1964-1965)
