249.2
athāpi khalv ekam idam indriyaṃ bahūnīndriyāṇi vā? kutaḥ saṃśayaḥ?
Now, then: is this sense organ one, or are there many sense organs? Whence arises the doubt?
249.3
sthānānyatve nānātvād avayavinānāsthānatvāc ca saṃśayaḥ ||
[Sūtra 52:] Doubt arises because difference [follows] from difference of location, and because a composite whole occupies many locations.
249.4
bahūni dravyāṇi nānāsthānāni dṛśyante, nānāsthānaś ca sann eko 'vayavī ceti/ tenendriyeṣu bhinnasthāneṣu saṃśaya iti//52//
Many substances are seen to have different locations, and a single composite whole, while being one, occupies many locations. Hence there is doubt concerning the sense organs, which have different locations.
