12.106

「非許藤支至如蟻行等」者，論主答。如我所宗，非許離藤別有支體，非許離縷別有衣體，即眾藤合、即眾縷合，盤屈安布差別不同，得支名、衣名。如蟻行等，離蟻之外無別行體。勝論亦許無別行體，故引極成為喻。

"We do not accept that the ring-stand is distinct from the vines […] like a line of ants and so forth": The author of the treatise answers: In our school, we do not accept that distinct from the vines there is a separate entity of a ring-stand, nor do we accept that distinct from the threads there is a separate entity of cloth; it is simply the combination of vines, or simply the combination of threads, coiling and arranged in different manners, that receives the name 'stand' or the name 'cloth'. It is like a line of ants and so forth: apart from the ants, there is no separate entity of a 'line'. The Vaiśeṣika also accepts that there is no separate entity of a line; hence this mutually established case is adduced as an analogy.
