5 Vrtti ad PS, V, k. 36d, cited in TSP, p. 389.9-12: sarvatrabhedad asrayasyanucchedat krtsnarthaparisamāptesca yathakramam jātidharma ekatva (-nityatva-) pratyekaparisamäptilaksana apoha evavatişthante. ... As the characteristic features of samanya, Prasastapäda mentions nityatva, ekatva and svavisayasarvagatatva, cf. Prasastapadabhâsya (Vizianagram Skt. Ser., vol. 4), p. 314. Explicit mention of pratyekaparisamāpti is not found in the extant Vaiseșika and Naiyāyika works of the early period. The clear expression is given in Nyayamanjari (Kashi Skt. Ser., 104), p. 284.27-28: ...ucyate pratipindam kartsnyenaiva jātir vartata iti. Cf. VyåkaranaMahabhasya, ed. Kielhorn, Vol. I, p. 243.24-25: evam tarhy...(akştih) pratyekam ca parisamăpyate yathadityaḥ.
