5.2.7
nodanāt pīḍanāt saṃyuktasaṃyogāc ca |
nodana-āpīḍanāt—from concussion, or being violently shaken by or through the impulse; saṃyukta-saṃyogāt—from conjunction with the conjunct; ca—and.
6. (Particles of water fly upwards), by means of concussion with impulse, and of conjunction with the conjunct.
[Read sūtra 5.2.6 above]
Particles of water fly up, being conjoined with the sun’s rays, which are, in turn, conjoined with air, through concussion with the impulse of strong wind; in the same way as the rays of fire, bestirred by air, carry up particles of water boiling in a cauldron. The word ‘ca’ conveys the sense of ‘as.’ And here only particles of water boiling in a cauldron should be observed to be the simile.—6.
