idaṃ ca sādhāraṇaṃ dūṣaṇam āha abhāva ityādi / abhāvo nirupākhyatvaṃ tucchatetyādi vā katham / sāmāyikyeva tenaiṣā liṅgatritayasaṃsthitiḥ //
[The text] states this common refutation beginning with "abhāva": How [can there be] such [words] as "abhāvaḥ" [masculine], "nirupākhyatvam" [neuter], and "tucchatā" [feminine]? Therefore this system of three genders is purely conventional.
