(2) In the case of created elements (for example, fire) we can picture to ourselves a difference between the time before, and the time after they had come into being. This difference we cannot conceive in the case of space [na sambhāvayitum çakyate p. 609, 4), that is, therefore, we cannot picture a condition in which space was not]. "For how can a man assume that before the creation there was no place, no vacuity, no opening?" (p. 609, 5).
