But there is origination of Ether. For Scripture, which is concerned

with matters transcending sense perception, is able to establish the

truth even of the origination of Ether, although this be not proved by

other means of knowledge. And in a matter known from Scripture a

is without parts, is not of sufficient force. That the non-

originatedness of the Self also does not rest on its being without parts

will be shown further on.--Here the Pûrvapakshin raises an objection.
