[Sūtra 44:] And because of seeing the visual ray of nocturnal creatures.
241.4
dṛśyante hi naktaṃ nayanaraśmayo naktañcarāṇāṃ vṛṣadaṃśaprabhṛtīnām, tena śeṣasyānumānam iti/ jātibhedavad indriyabheda iti cet? dharmabhedamātraṃ cānupapannam āvaraṇasya prātipratiṣedhārthasya darśanād iti//44//
For the visual rays of night-prowling animals such as cats are seen at night; by that, the rest [of visual rays] are inferred. If it is objected that there is a difference in sense organs just as there is a difference in species? That is not so, for a mere difference in property is inadmissible here, because an obstruction whose purpose is to block contact is observed [in all cases].
