Lamp obstructs darkness, darkness is dispelled by lamp. It is a matter of general law that obstructor (vadhaka) and the obstructed (vadhya) partake of opposite nature with reference to the same object. The jar which is enlightened by light is covered by darkness. So if one admits that the lamp enlightens itself and others, then it will also have to be admitted that darkness covers itself and others. In that case darkness can never be perceived by others for an object whose nature is itself covered cannot be known by knowledge. [According to the opponent, Vaibhasikas, the object (visaya) lends its form to knowledge and as such knowledge illumines the object. So if darkness itself remains covered it is not possible that its form will be lent to knowledge. So it cannot be preceived.] ||12|| कि चान्यत् । इहायमुत्पादो यद्यात्मानमुत्पादयेत्, स उत्पन्नो वा स्वात्मानमुत्पादयेदनुत्पन्नो वा। उभयथा च नोपपद्यते इत्याह- अनुत्पन्नोऽयमुत्पादः स्वात्मान जनयेत कथम् । अथोत पन्नो जनयते जाते कि जन्यते पुनः॥१३|| यद्यनुत्पन्न उत्पादः स्वात्मानमुत्पादयेत् मुण्डकजटाशिरोमणि- रप्यात्मानमुत्पादयेत्। अथोत्पन्न उत्पादयेत्, किमुत्पन्नस्यापरणोत्- पादेन प्रयोजनमिति। एवं तावदुत्पाद आत्मान' नोत्पादयति ॥
