[The argument] regarding the Veda does not stand, and its postulation is thus futile. For if being produced were the cause of both rightness and wrongness, then its absence would result in the absence of both wrong and right cognition. Thus, the Veda's non-produced nature could not establish [its] being a cause of right cognition, since that [non-produced nature] is not causally connected to it, and therefore the qualification becomes useless - hence the reason is inconclusive.
