ADH 3.] VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA 355 and the supporting cause, viz the sense-objects ¹ Moreover, even if the causeless origin of effect be admitted, the above-mentioned fault, viz. the origin of everything everywhere, remains unavoidable. If, again, to avoid this difficulty, the case be admitted to be "otherwise", i e if it be admitted that the effect originates when the cause is existent, then there must be "simultaneousness", i e. there must be simulta- neous existence of the cause and the effect. That is, the above- mentioned objection remains in force. Thus, does the prior momentary existence pot come to be the cause of another momentary existence pot at the time when it (the prior) itself exists, or does it become the cause of the subsequent moment,—which is being generated,—by lasting till the time of its production ? In either case, there is simul- taneousness. On the first alternative, all the momentary existences will come to be perceived at the same time, and the conventional distinction between the prior and the subsequent will come to an end. On the second alternative, their momentariness will be abolished, and owing to the persistence of two momentary existences, there must follow a simultaneous perception of two momentary existences in the same place.
