[ તૃતીયcoexist. Moreover, by considering that various attributes coexist, there will arise a distinction in the
substance in as many ways as there are different attributes. Hence, it is not possible to consider the attributes as non-distinct from the stand-point of Kala.
(2) The nature of one attribute is different from that of another, so says the Paryayarthika Naya. So the attributes cannot be looked upon as nondifferent. Thus as the attributes differ in their nature, how is it possible to consider them as non-distinct from the stand-point of Atma-rupa ?
(3) The contact of a jar with the attribute existence is different from that of a jar with nonexistence. Thus when there is a difference in the contacts of different attributes, it is impossible to believe that from the stand-point of Sambandha, the attributes are non-distinct.
(4) It can be similarly seen that even from the stand-point of Samsarga, we cannot consider attributes as non-distinct.
(5) The Upakara that one attribute generates is distinct from that generated by another. So there cannot be oneness between the various Upakaras generated by different attributes. Hence, from the standpoint of Upakara, the attributes are different.
(6) For every attribute there is a distinct Gunides'a. Hence from the stand-point of Gunides'a also, the attributes must be looked upon as distinct.
