TATTVASANGRAUA : CHAPTER XII.
hension of something contrary to what is wider (than the Conclusion of the Opponent).—(698)
The following night bo urged: Even if the non-moinentary object is always the same, -ingamuch as, hy its very nature, it has the form of the
moving entity': it could have Action; hence our Ronson is not Incon. clusive".
The answer to this is provided in the following
TEXTS (699-700). IF THE ACTION OF Going AND THE REST CONSTITUTED THE VERY ESSENOR OF THE MOVING ENTITY'-THEN, THIS LATTER COULD NOT
STAY IMMOBILE FOR EVEN A SINGLE MOMENT; BECAUSE EVEN WHEN THE Going, ETO. ARE NOT THERE, THEY SHOULD CERTAINLY BE THERE,INAS. MUCH AS THE OBJECT HAS NOT RENOUNCED ITS
PREVIOUS FORM, AND IS EXACTLY AS IT WAS AT THE TIME OF THE APPEARANOT
OF THE Going, ETC.-(699-700)
COMMENTARY If such objecte as Devalalta and the like, which are held to be nonmomentary, were, by their very nature, connectod with the Actions of Going, Throwing up and the rest,then, they should never stand unmoving : as the Going nature would always be there. Hence in the case of these, Deva datta, etc., who are endowed with the action of Going,-even when there is no Going-i.e. even when they are standing immobile,-the said actions of Going, etc. should be there,-just as at the time of the appearance of those acte ; because the objects will not have abandoned their previous form or nature.-699-700)
TEXTS (701-702), Ir, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE OBJECTS WERE, BY THEIR NATURE, OF THE NATURE OF THE IMMOBILE ENTITY, THEN absence of going SHOULD BE THERE ALWAYS, AND THERE WOULD BE NO MOVEMENT OF ANY KIND EVEN FOR A MOMENT. BECAUSE, EVEN WHEN going MIGHT BE THERE, THE OBJECT WOULD STILL BE OF THE NATURE OF THN
TMMOBILI ENTITY, BECAUSE IT WILL NOT HAVE RENOUNCED ITS PREVIOUS NATURA, - JUST AS AT THE TIME WHEN
IT WAS NOT MOVING.-(701-702)
COMMENTARY If, from fear of the above criticism, it be held that the object, by its nature, is immobile,-then the absence of going, etc. should be there always; because the object is of the same form always, like Akasha.
