On the Śāstra's statement: "Furthermore, the examples you cite [...] fail to serve as analogies": The author of the Śāstra refutes the previously cited analogies on two fronts. If they are said to be the self, that is not established, for I do not accept it. If they are the mind and so forth, they perish moment by moment, arising ever anew; thus taking on and casting off are not established, and the body is like the mind and so forth. Furthermore, just as the Vedas and so forth are different from the body, the aggregates should also be different from the pudgala. The aged and diseased bodies are distinct before and after; in neither is there taking on or casting off. If you agree with the Sāṃkhya in saying there is transformation, that has already been refuted above.
