Third: 'cause' is the śābda-kāraka-hetu. 'Science' (illumination) is the jñāna-jñāpaka-hetu. Because words produce it, wisdom that has not yet arisen is able to arise. Because wisdom makes it known, meaning that was not yet understood is now understood. The pratijñā that is understood is called the correct principle, and the wisdom that is produced is called entering. Cause and illumination are distinct, yet both are designations of the cause. The correct principle and entering are different, yet both are appellations of the effect. Due to the śābda-kāraka-hetu, the opponent enters into understanding the pratijñā. Due to the jñāna-jñāpaka-hetu illumination, the vādin's correct principle is then revealed. One should say the entry into the correct principle, and the hetuvidyā of entering the correct principle, both being tatpuruṣa compounds; although the vādin relies on the production by words before producing the opponent's wisdom, he must depend on wisdom and meaning before production by words exists; although the opponent relies on making known by wisdom before understanding the established pratijñā, he must depend on meaning and words before making known by wisdom exists. Therefore, although it merely designates the śābda-kāraka and the jñāna-jñāpaka, it already encompasses the two jñāpaka and two kāraka causes, comprehending the phenomena fully with nothing omitted.
