अधिष्ठानानुपपत्तेश्च ॥ ३९ ॥
adhiṣṭhānānupapatteśca || 39 ||
adhiṣṭhāna-anupapatteḥ—Rulership being impossible; ca—and.
39. And on account of the rulership (of the Lord) being impossible.
These schools infer the existence of the Lord, and say that He directs the Pradhana etc. as the potter does his clay. But the Pradhana etc. are not objects of perception like the clay. Hence the Lord cannot direct them, for the inference must be strictly in accordance with observed facts.
