पौर्वापर्यमतोऽमीषां प्रसङ्ख्यानमभीप्सताम् । यथा विविक्तं यद्वक्त्रं गृह्णीमो युक्तिसम्भवात् ॥ ९ ॥
paurvāparyam ato ’mīṣāṁ prasaṅkhyānam abhīpsatām yathā viviktaṁ yad-vaktraṁ gṛhṇīmo yukti-sambhavāt
- paurva
- considering causal elements to include their manifest products
- aparyam
- or assuming elements to include their subtle causes
- ataḥ
- therefore
- amīṣām
- of these thinkers
- prasaṅkhyānam
- the counting
- abhīpsatām
- who are intending
- yathā
- how
- viviktam
- ascertained
- yat-vaktram
- from whose mouth
- gṛhṇīmaḥ
- We accept it
- yukti
- of reason
- sambhavāt
- because of the possibility
Therefore, no matter which of these thinkers is speaking, and regardless of whether in their calculations they include material elements within their previous subtle causes or else within their subsequent manifest products, I accept their conclusions as authoritative, because a logical explanation can always be given for each of the different theories.
