357.2
ataḥ paraṃ prāvādukānāṃ dṛṣṭayaḥ pradarśyante ---
Hereafter, the views of various theorists are presented:
357.3
abhāvād bhāvotpattir nānupamṛdya prādurbhāvāt ||
NyS 4.1.14: [Objection:] The existent arises from the non-existent, because appearance does not occur without destruction.
357.4
asataḥ sad utpadyate ity ayaṃ pakṣaḥ/ kasmāt? upamṛdya prādurbhāvāt/ upamṛdya bījam aṅkura utpadyate nānupamṛdya, na ced vījopamardo 'ṅkurakāraṇam anupamarde 'pi bījasyāṅkurotpattiḥ syād iti//14//
The thesis is: the existent arises from the non-existent. Why? Because appearance occurs having destroyed [the previous state]. Having destroyed the seed, the sprout arises, not without having destroyed it. If the destruction of the seed were not the cause of the sprout, the origination of the sprout would occur even without the destruction of the seed. ||14
