For example, when the proponent of [sound's] eternality, wishing to prove the real eternality of sound, puts forward the argument "Sound is eternal because it is incorporeal, like space," [and when] the opponent [argues] "Sound cannot be eternal because of [its] incorporeality, as this [reason] is inconclusive due to [the case of] pleasure and similar [things]" - even when the proof for the real eternality is thus refuted, the non-eternality of sound is indeed not established; "similarly in this case also" - this is the remaining [meaning].
