Verse 62
Fault in accepting that there is inherence (samavāya) of a single effect in many causes:

Or if it be assumed that the effect is possessed of parts then it no longer remains a single entity. Thus, there are difficulties in accepting the non-Jaina position regarding the way the effect inheres in its cause.
The Vaisesika hold1 that attributes', like the intelligence (caitanya) and the colour (rūpa), and bearers of attributes', like the self (ātmā) and the pot (ghata), are completely different, yet being connected by `inherence' (samavāya) these attain the designations ‘attributes' and 'bearers of attributes'. Inherence weaves together; it is also styled 'occurrence' (vrtti). Through that occurrence, the inherence connection, the
