I. 27 ) CHAPTER I
[ 29 If there is no co-relativity between Nayas, it leads to the sure defect of a Naya. This is illustrated by taking concrete examples of some well known particular doctrines :
इहरा समूहसिद्धो परिणामको व्व जो जहिं अत्थो। ते तच ण त त चेव व त्ति नियमेण मिच्छत्तं ॥ २७ ॥
Or? if the Nayas the (standpoints) offend against the rule of 'mutual supplementing* such as for instance when one says that the effect and the cause are identical; or another says that the effect can never be identical with the cause; or when a third says that the effect and the cause are not at. all separate or different from each other. All these absolute statements or unqualified statements are wrong even though it is a fact that an effect is inherent in a cause in as much as the former is either a transformation of the latter or the former is a substance of which the latter forms the constituent.
What is illustrated by the example of a necklace is again discussed by taking the cases of some famous doctrincs.
