Verse 755

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

क्रियात्वजातिसम्बन्धक्रियायोगान्मतिर्यदि ।
नष्टक्रियेऽपि च तया ध्रुवहेतूपलक्षणात् ॥ ७५५ ॥

kriyātvajātisambandhakriyāyogānmatiryadi |
naṣṭakriye'pi ca tayā dhruvahetūpalakṣaṇāt || 755 ||

If the idea be said to be due to the presence of the act related to the ‘universal’ action,—and this permanent basis is always indicated by it even when the particular act has ceased,—[then, the answer is as given in the following text].—(755)

‘By it’,—i.e. by the action.

‘Permanent basis’,—in the shape of the ‘Universal’ Action.—(755)

The answer to this is given in the following—[see verse 756 next]
