282.2
yaś cāśeṣanirodhenāpūrvotpādaṃ niranvayaṃ dravyasantāne kṣaṇikatāṃ manyate tasyaitat ---
And for him who considers momentariness in the continuum of substances to be an unprecedented production without continuation through complete cessation, here is [the answer]:
282.3
notpattivināśakāraṇopalabdheḥ ||
[It is] not [so], because the causes of origination and destruction are apprehended.
282.4
utpattikāraṇaṃ tāvad upalabhyate avayavopacayo valmīkādīnām, vināśakāraṇaṃ copalabhyate ghaṭādīnām avayavavibhāgaḥ/
First, the cause of origination is apprehended as the accumulation of parts in the case of anthills and the like; and the cause of destruction is apprehended as the disjunction of parts in the case of pots and the like.
282.5
yasya tv anapacitāvayavaṃ nirudhyate anupacitāvayavaṃ cotpadyate tasyāśeṣanirodhe niranvaye vāpūrvotpāde na kāraṇam ubhayatrāpy upalabhyate iti//12//
For him, however, for whom that which has unreduced parts ceases and that which has unaccumulated parts originates, in complete cessation or in unprecedented origination without continuation, a cause is not apprehended in either case. //12
