367.3
nimittānimittayor arthāntarabhāvād apratiṣedhaḥ ||
[NyS 4.1.24:] [There is] no refutation, because 'cause' and 'no-cause' have different meanings.
367.4
anyad dhi nimittam anyac ca nimittapratyākhyānam, na ca pratyākhyānam eva pratyākhyeyaṃ
For a cause is one thing, and the denial of a cause is another; nor is a denial the very thing to be denied,
367.5
yathānudakaḥ kamaṇḍalur iti nodakapratiṣedha udakaṃ bhavatīti/ sa khalv ayaṃ vādo 'karmanimittaḥ śarīrādisarga ity etasmān na bhidyate, abhedāt tatpratiṣedhenaiva pratiṣiddho veditavya iti//24//
just as in 'a waterless water-pot', the denial of water does not become water. Indeed, this thesis does not differ from the one that 'the creation of the body and the like is not caused by karma'; because of non-difference, it is to be understood as already refuted by the refutation of that [thesis]. ||24
