[One might argue that] if the pudgala were eternal, then its effective activity would be incompatible [with it] through [both] succession and simultaneity; however, just as it is 'inexpressible' as non-eternal, so it is [inexpressible] as eternal; therefore its capacity for effective activity is indeed not incompatible.
