avayavanāśe 'py avayavyupalabdher ahetuḥ ||
[That is] no reason, because the whole is apprehended even when a part is destroyed.
209.3
ekavināśe dvitīyāvināśād ity ahetuḥ/ kasmāt? vṛkṣasya hi kāsucic chākhāsu chinnāsūpalabhyate eva vṛkṣaḥ//10//
The statement 'because upon the destruction of one, there is no destruction of the second' is no reason. Why? Because when some branches of a tree are cut off, the tree is indeed apprehended.
