36.4

udāharaṇavaidharmyāc ca sādhyasādhanaṃ hetuḥ/ katham? anityaḥ śabda utpattidharmakatvāt, anutpattidharmakaṃ nityaṃ yathātmādidravyam iti//35//

And the logical reason is the means of proving what is to be proved through dissimilarity to the example. How? "Sound is non-eternal, because it has the property of having an origin; that which does not have the property of having an origin is eternal, as is a substance such as the self."
