185.3
aniyame niyamān nāniyamaḥ ||
[Opponent's objection:] Because there is regularity in irregularity, there is no irregularity.
185.4
yo 'yaṃ prakṛter aniyama uktaḥ sa niyato yathāviṣayaṃ vyavasthito niyatatvān niyama iti bhavati, evaṃ saty aniyamo nāsti, tatra yad uktaṃ prakṛtyaniyamād iti, etad ayuktam iti//55//
This non-regularity of original material that was stated is itself regular, determined according to its respective domain; because it is regular, it becomes a regularity. This being so, there is no irregularity; hence, what was said—'because there is no regularity of original material'—is improper.
