1. Racananupapattes'ca nanumanam pravrttes'ca
The Anumana (Pradhana) is not the cause of the creation, etc. of the world, on account of the impossibility of construction and on account of activity.
The construction of chariots, mansions, etc. cannot be accomplished by the non-sentient beings, such as wood etc. without being employed by a person, who knows how to do them. And they could be made when they are employed by the person, who knows how to do them. Hence the Pradhana, that is non-sentient being, that could be proved by the inference only and that is not guided by an intelligent person cannot be the cause of the creation, etc. of the world.
