________________ CHAPTER VI. THE FIFTH PREDICATION, The fifth Bhanga in the Sapta Bhanga Naya is: - Syadastyeva Syadavaktavya Eva Ghatah Syst-asti-ova Syat-Avaktavyah Eva Ghatah. In some respects, the pitcher certainly exists and in some respects, it is certainly inexpressible. Obviously, this fifth statement about the pitcher is a combination of the foregoing first and the fourth propositions of the Syad-vada. A Similar statement may be made about the mango-tree of our example. The fifth judgment, although a complex one in appearance is unitary and simple in its implication. In other words, the reality which is presented by this fifth manner of predioation is a simple, unitary aspect, though on analysis it may be found to refer to manifold elements.
