136.2
atha manyase niyataviṣayeṣv artheṣu svaviṣaye vyabhicāro bhavati, na ca pratiṣedhasya sadbhāvo viṣayaḥ? evaṃ tarhi---
Now if you think that in objects having a restricted scope, inconstancy pertains [only] to their own scope, and the real existence [of postulation] is not the scope of the refutation—if so, then:—
136.3
tatprāmāṇye vā nārthāpattyaprāmāṇyam ||
Or, if that is valid, there is no non-validity of postulation.
136.4
arthāpatter api kāryotpādena kāraṇasattāyā avyabhicāro viṣayaḥ/ na ca kāraṇadharmo nimittapratibandhāt kāryānutpādakatvam iti//6//
The non-failure of the cause's presence through the effect's production is also the scope of postulation. And the property of the cause—namely, non-production of the effect due to an obstruction of instrumental factors—is not [its scope]. (6)
