ananumānād iti na/ idaṃ hy anumānam---
[Objection:] It is not the case that there is no inference, for here is the inference:
178.3
suvarṇādīnāṃ punarāpatter ahetuḥ ||
NyS 2.2.48: [Objection:] That is not a valid reason, because gold and other things do return [to their original state].
178.4
suvarṇaṃ kuṇḍalatvaṃ hitvā rucakatvam āpadyate rucakatvaṃ hitvā punaḥ kuṇḍalatvam āpadyate, evam ikāro 'pi yakāratvam āpannaḥ punar ikāro bhavatīti//48//
[Objection:] Gold gives up the state of an earring and attains the state of a neck ornament, and gives up the state of a neck ornament and attains the state of an earring again; similarly, the sound 'i' also, having attained the state of 'ya', becomes the sound 'i' again.
