[ The first type of sovereignty is not admitted but not all types of it. Similarly, when we refuse to admit the fifth pratişddha, it is the number five' associated with it that is denied, and not a pratisedha in all its aspects.
Regarding this refutation, it may be argued that this is all moonshine For, you refuse to admit in me the sovereignty of the three worlds-a thing that does exist in my case. The numher five' not admitted in the case of pratişèdha, is also non-existent. Moreover, samyoga in the case of a house and Devadation, which is not admitted, is also non-existent. Same is the case with samavāya, sāmānya and višeşa. Such being the case, how can you say that what is negatived does exist? The answer to this sort of argument may be given as follows:
That the saryoga between the house and Devadatta is not simittéd, does not mean refusal to admit the sainyoga of Dövadatta with a field, a market, a village, or the like. More over, the house has no saryoga with Devadatta only; but it has & samyoga, no doubt, with a bed-stead or the like.
Similarly, the samavāya in the case of an A88 and horns is not admitad; but the samavāya in the case of a cow and its horns and the like, is certainly admitted.
Likewise, samanya is not admitted in the case of the moon but it is surely admitted in the case of ghatas, cows, eto. that are more than one in number.
Similarly, the measure equal to a ghata is refused so far as the pearls are concerned but it no doubt exists as regards a melon etc. The sovereignty of the three worlds is not admitted, Gautama I in your case; but it does exist as far as Orthankaras are concerned.
Slimmibarly, the number five is not admitted regarding the peatadkas; but it is surely admitted when the question of anuttaras is being disoussed.
