174.2
dravyavikārodāharaṇaṃ ca---
And as for the example of modification of a substance:
174.3
nātulyaprakṛtīnāṃ vikāravikalpāt ||
NyS 2.2.44: Not so, because the modifications of material causes that are not equal vary.
174.4
atulyānāṃ dravyāṇāṃ prakṛtibhāvo vikalpate vikārāś ca prakṛtīr anuvidhīyante/ na tv ivarṇam anuvidhīyate yakāraḥ/ tasmād anudāharaṇaṃ dravyavikāra iti//44//
The material causality of unequal substances varies, and the modifications conform to their material causes. But the sound 'ya' does not conform to the sound 'i'. Therefore, the modification of a substance is not an [appropriate] example.
