This is found also in our Vx of CS. But as the sense requires and the Vx of CSV has it and is supported by CSV itself and the Chinese the true reading must be hbras bu yis (instrumental). See karika 352 (=XV. 2) of which a is identical with a of the present karika, the reading of the former being : hbras bu yis ni rgyu bz'ig pa. In the same line, i.e. a, V with Vxx of CS and CSV has wrongly boig for bz'ig after rgyu. The same mistake occurs also in V's edition in karika 352a. In d Vx of CS has rgyu yod pa for yod ma yin while that of the CSV reads yod ma yi. Both of them are evidently wrong. * V hetor vinasah karyena tena hetur na sasvatah | atha hetur bhavati yah sa karyam naiva jayate || 18 || Here gan na in cand de na in d are taken by V as nominatives, Skt. yah and sah respectively. This cannot be done. They must be taken in the locative case, as the particle na in both the places clearly shows. V's translation of the second half (i.e. c and d) is also objectionable, and his two versions, Skt.
