SECTION V DEPENDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE
Verse 73 ततः कारिकाद्वयेन (७१-७२) सामान्यविशेषात्मानमर्थं संहृत्य तत्रापेक्षानपेक्षैकान्तप्रतिक्षेपाय आह -
यद्यापेक्षिकसिद्धिः स्यान्न द्वयं व्यवतिष्ठते ।
अनापेक्षिकसिद्धौ च न सामान्यविशेषता॥७३॥
If an entity and its attribute are absolutely dependent on each other, then neither of them succeeds in retaining its identity; on the other hand, if they are absolutely independent of each other, then the fact of there being universal as well as particular characters remains unaccounted for. (73)
Note : That is to say, the universal character of an empirical phenomenon represents its 'substance-aspect' and its particular character its 'mode-aspect', and hence to maintain that a substance and its mode are absolutely independent of each other is to maintain that the universal character of an empirical phenomenon is absolutely independent of its particular character; but as a matter of fact, the universality of a universal character and the particularity of a corresponding particular character are mutually determined - so that on the second rival's understanding a universal character will be no real universal character and a particular character no real particular character.
अथ पञ्चमः परिच्छेदः धर्मधर्मिणोः आपेक्षिकी सिद्धिः, प्रत्यक्षबुद्धौ तदनवभासनात्, दूरेतरादिवत् । तयोरन्योन्यापेक्षैकान्ते स्वभावतः प्रतिष्ठितस्य एकतरस्यापि अभावे अन्यतराभावात् उभयं न प्रकल्प्येत । दूरासन्नभावयोरपि स्वभावविवर्तविशेषाभावे समानदेशादेरपि प्रसङ्गात् । तदिमौ स्वभावतः स्ताम्, अन्यथा इतरेतराश्रयदोषानुषङ्गात् । अनपेक्षापक्षेऽपि नान्वयव्यतिरेकौ स्याताम्, भेदाभेदयोः अन्योन्यापेक्षात्मकत्वात् विशेषतरभावस्य ।।७३।।
