If one refutes it by being seen to be burned and the like, that is naturally a semblance of a refutation, and the principle is not my fault. How is this known? Now, simply because the pot possesses the meaning of product-hood, it definitely possesses impermanence, and one takes the pot as an example. Because product-hood is the meaning of impermanence, although it has being seen to be burned, product-hood is not the reason; how could this be an objection?' What is the truth of this matter? Answer: This also is not so. If one takes the substance of the pot as the example, and because the pot possesses the meaning of product-hood, therefore it possesses impermanence, then one should say 'manifests the pot's property of definite presence'; how could one say 'manifests the property of definite presence in the sapakṣa of the reason'? Because the product-hood of the pot and the product-hood of sound are sapakṣa, and because in that pot product-hood is accompanied by impermanence, it is therefore called sapakṣa. How could the four elements of the pot's substance be called the sapakṣa of product-hood? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1841.1.21) - [Next: 1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1841.1.23) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1841.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1841~en-mt.1.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1841.1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1841.1.22) · Pramāṇa
