4.35

The first division has four parts: first, examining and determining the matter with three propositions regarding milk and curd: originating from milk is the first, originating from itself is the second, and originating from another is the third; second, from "and so on" onward, analogizing the subsequent by the preceding; third, raising objections based on the preceding three propositions to refute the latter two and establish the initial origination from milk; fourth, from "and so on" onward, taking the preceding to analogize the subsequent.
