na, sādhyasamatvāt ||
No, because it is identical with the thesis to be proved.
332.3
yathā śarīrotpattir akarmanimittā sādhyā tathā sikatāśarkarāpāṣāṇagairikāñjanaprabhṛtīnām apy akarmanimittaḥ sargaḥ sādhyaḥ sādhyasamatvād asādhanam iti ``bhūtebhyo mūrtyupādānavad'' iti cānena sādhyam//62//
Just as the production of the body being uncaused by karma is to be proved, so too the creation of sand, gravel, stones, red chalk, collyrium, and the like being uncaused by karma is also to be proved; because it is identical with the thesis to be proved, it is not a proof; and by this, '[its acquisition is] like the acquisition of material forms from the elements,' it is [merely] something to be proved. ||62
