16.10

This counter-objection is misplaced. For we do not declare nescience to be one across all individual selves like the Pradhāna, such that we would incur this fault. Rather, it is distinct in every individual self. Hence, nescience is destroyed only in that individual self in whom knowledge arises, not in another, because there is no opposition between the two when their loci are different. Therefore, the fault of the contingent destruction of all worldly existence does not apply. Consequently, transformation must be abandoned, and the doctrine of apparent transformation must be accepted.
