Second Pâda: 34. Nor also is there non-contradiction

34. Nor also is there non-contradiction from paryâya; on account of change, and so on. Nor is the difficulty to be evaded by the assumption of the soul assuming a different condition through contraction or dilatation. For this would imply that the soul is subject p. 520 to change, and all the imperfections springing from it, viz. non-permanence, and so on, and hence would not be superior to non-sentient things such as jars and the like.
