Verse 110
conditional affirmation of a substance, from a particular point of view, and also the conditional negation, from another point of view. The two views, existence and nonexistence, are not without any limitation; these views are neither totally inclusive nor totally exclusive to each other. Leaving out the limitation will lead to nihilistic delusion.
नित्यं तदेवेदमिति प्रतीतेन नित्यमन्यत्प्रतिपत्तिसिद्धेः। न तद्विरुद्धं बहिरन्तरङ्गनिमित्तनैमित्तिकयोगतस्ते ॥
(9-3-43) When we reckon the existence of a substance we maintain that it is eternal and when we reckon the non-existence of that substance we maintain that it is perishable. O Lord Suvidhinātha ! You had declared that the two views that proclaim the same substance to be eternal as well as perishable are reconciled by the doctrine of material or internal cause (upādāna kartā) and the auxiliary or external cause (nimitta kartā) in the performance of any action.
Jain, Vijay K. (2015), "Acārya Samantabhadra's Svayambhūstotra", p. 59-60.
