6.50

अथ नश्वररूपत्वात्तद्रूपस्योद्भवः कथम् । उद्भवो नश्वरत्वं च द्वौ स्वभावौ कथं तथा ॥५०॥

atha naśvararūpatvāttadrūpasyodbhavaḥ katham | udbhavo naśvaratvaṃ ca dvau svabhāvau kathaṃ tathā

— now if (you say) ; — because of (its) perishable nature ; — of that (perishable) form ; — arising ; — how? ; — arising ; — and perishability ; — two (contrary) natures ; — how (can they coexist) thus?

Now if (you say a thing perishes) because of (its) intrinsically perishable nature — (then) how (does) that (very) perishable form (ever) arise? Arising and perishability — two (contrary) natures — how can they (coexist) thus (in one thing at one moment)?
