anekavidhalakṣaṇair iti madhyamapadalopī samāsaḥ/ gandhādibhiś ca guṇair budhnādibhiś cāvayavaiḥ sambaddha eko bhāvo niṣpadyate, guṇavyatiriktaṃ ca dravyam avayavātiriktaś cāvayavīti/ vibhaktanyāyaṃ caitad ubhayam iti//35//

'Anekavidhalakṣaṇaiḥ' is a compound with elision of the middle term. Connected with qualities like smell and with parts like the base, a single entity is produced; and a substance is distinct from its qualities, and a whole is distinct from its parts. And both of these have had their reasoning explained. ||35
