CHAPTER X 439 समाधिः सुकरं कार्यं कारणान्तरयोगतः ॥ साधनान्तरोपकृतेन कर्त्रा यत् अक्लेशेन कार्यमारब्धं समाधीयते स समाधिर्नाम । उदाहरणम्-- मानमस्या निराकर्तुं पादयोर्मे पतिष्यतः । उपकाराय दिष्टचेदमुदीर्णं घनगर्जितम् ॥५३४॥ Though it does imply an inconsistency (which is a form of Contradiction), yet the figure is not the same as 'Con- tradiction), as in this the 'inconsistency' appears only in the form of two things appearing in two distinct substrata ; while in 'Contradiction', the inconsistency really lies in two things subsisting in the same substratum ; though this fact has not been stated (in the definition of 'Contradic- tion' given before), —that it is so is clear from the fact that what is of wider application (in the present case, 'contradiction') is made applicable to only those cases that do not come under what is of narrower application ('Disconnection', in the present case.) [Hence it is that when 'disconnection' is found to be applicable to cases where the two things are represented as subsisting in different substrata, it is only right that the scope of 'contradiction' should be restricted to cases where they are described as subsisting in the same substratum.] And it is under this understanding that examples have been cited above (of the figure of 'Contradiction.') 124.11 XLV.—Samādhi—Convenience. When, through the help of other causes, the fulfilment of an effect is described as becoming easier,—it is Convenience. When a certain work, commenced by an agent (with one set of accessories), becomes accomplished without much trouble, with the help of other accessories,—it is the figure named 'Convenience'.
