atas tathā kṣaṇikatvenāvācye pudgale vastutā nāsti / tatra tadvyāpakasya kṣaṇikatvaya nivṛtteḥ vṛkṣatvanivṛttau śiṃśapātvādinivṛttivad iti /
Therefore, in a pudgala that cannot be expressed as being momentary, there is no entity-hood, because of the absence there of momentariness which pervades it [i.e., entity-hood], just as in the absence of tree-hood there is the absence of śiṃśapā-hood and so forth.
