There is no place for *jāti* (generality) in this system; the *svalakṣaṇa* (unique particular) is only reality. Whatever that is supposed to be *sāmānya lakṣaṇa* (universal) is unreal; it can be described linguistically, but then any such description ought to be fictional. The *svalakṣaṇa* functions as a reality from moment to moment. It is the *paramārthasat* (ultimate reality) and is *sarvato vyāvṛtta* (distinguished from everything else).
