(The risusútra naya) recognises only the real natural state of a thing out of the four, the name náma niksepa, etc; in the same way, the succeeding nayas. 13.
Explanation. - thing is recognised (1) by its name (nama nikṣepa), (2) by its shape or image (sthaparri niksepa), (3) by the causes which bring it about (cravya wiksepa), or (4) by its nature, i.e., the real, natural state (bhciva nziksepa). Neither name nor shape, nor image, nor the causal antecedents cau, however, be termed the true attributes of a thing. They are all its unreal, attributed qualities. The only natural attributes (bhdva nikşepa)
