________________ In this proposition, he was plotted : 13 498 kert at primarily from the point of view of its existence. 2. The proposition “Maybe the pot does not exist' means that the pot does not exist if looked at from the point of view of the absence of the characteristics of its name, locality, material and time. To elucidate, the pot exists in reference to its own narae but does not exist with reference to the names of other things such as a horse, a cloth, a house &c., &c. The pot exists in its own locality but does not exist in other localities. For instance, the pou in question stands on a piece of stone but there are also many other pieces of stone, woo. den planks, roofs etc., where that pot is not standing. As far as these latter localities are concerned, the pot does not stand but as far as the locality of the piece of stone where it is standing, is concerned, it exists. The pot exists of its material-earth, but it does not exist as far as other materials such as gold, copper, brass &c., are concerned. The pot exists in the present time but does not exist in the time preceding its manufacture or succeeding its destruction i.e. the past and the future times.
