2.155

述曰：此正量部轉計救義。謂見如前五義破一，遂作是義：亦非無隔，眼所行境體，皆是一物。所以者何？由彼地相，此象、彼馬處有差別。即成此、彼二處地別，如是四足處各差別，地即成四，一蹄之下，東、西有殊，其地即異，不由異義，所餘無隔，眼所及境，名為一物，有隔不及，遂即成多，故我宗中，無前五失。今牒言「若謂由」等。

Commentary: This is the Saṃmatīya modifying their thesis to rescue their position. Having seen the five arguments above refuting singularity, they then formulated this position: It is not that everything within the visual range without intervals is in substance a single thing. Why is this? Due to the characteristics of the ground, the place of this elephant and that horse are distinct. Thus the ground in this place and that place becomes distinct. In this way, the places of the four feet are each distinct, so the ground becomes four; beneath a single hoof, the east and west are distinct, so that ground is different; not due to any other reason. The remaining places without interval within the visual range are called a single thing; where there is an interval and it does not reach, it becomes multiple. Therefore, in our school, we are free from the five faults above. Now the text restates this, saying, "If it is said that due to..." and so forth.
