— if (the destruction be) different ; — in the arising of (a mere) other ; — of the pot ; — what has befallen here? ; — of itself ; — or by another ; — in (its) destruction ; — here too ; — the same (alternatives)

And if (the destruction be) different — (then) in the arising of (some mere) other, what has befallen the pot (which remains)? And as to (the pot's) destruction, whether of itself or by another — here too the same (untenable) alternatives (recur).
