अग्न्यादिश्रुतेर् इति चेन् न भाक्तत्वात्
If it is argued on the basis of the scriptural mention of fire and the like, it is not so, because it is only figurative.
प्रथमे ऽश्रवणाद् इति चेन् न ता एव ह्य् उपपत्तेः
If it is objected that it is not heard in the first instance, it is not so, for those very things are reasonable.
अश्रुतत्वाद् इति चेन् नेष्टादिकारिणां प्रतीतेः
If it is argued that it is not heard, it is not so, because it is understood in the case of those who perform sacrifices and the like.
भाक्तं वानात्मवित्त्वात् तथा हि दर्शयति
Or, it is figurative, because it is known to be non-self; for thus the scripture shows.
कृतात्यये ऽनुशयवान् दृष्टस्मृतिभ्यां यथेतमनेवं च
When the allotted period is completed, one who has residual karma, as seen in scripture and tradition, proceeds accordingly.
चरणाद् इति चेन् न तदुपलक्षणार्थेति कार्ष्णाजिनिः
If it is objected on the basis of the feet, it is not so, for it is meant as an indication; thus says Kārṣṇājini.
आनर्थक्यम् इति चेन् न तदपेक्षत्वात्
If it is argued that it is purposeless, it is not so, because it is required.
सुकृतदुष्कृते एवेति तु बादरिः
Only with regard to good and evil deeds, says Bādari.
अनिष्टादिकारिणाम् अपि च श्रुतम्
And it is also heard in scripture concerning those who perform undesirable acts and the like.
संयमने त्व् अनुभूयेतरेषामारोहाव् अरोहौ तद्गतिदर्शनात्
But in the judgment, ascent and descent are experienced by others, as seen in those who have gone there.
स्मरन्ति च
And tradition also remembers this.
अपि सप्त
Even seven.
तत्रापि तद्व्यापारादविरोधः
Even there, because of that activity, there is no contradiction.
विद्याकर्मणोर् इति तु प्रकृतत्वात्
But with regard to knowledge and action, because it is the subject under discussion.
न तृतीये तथोपलब्धेः
Not in the third case, because it is not so observed.
स्मर्यते ऽपि च लोके
And it is also remembered in the world.
दर्शनाच् च
And because it is seen.

तत्स्वाभाव्यापत्तिरुपपत्तेः
Its natural occurrence is reasonable.

Not after a long time, because of the distinction.

When established in something else, as before, because of the usage.
अशुद्धम् इति चेन् न शब्दात्

Then, the connection with semen.
योनेःशरीरम्

सन्ध्ये सृष्टिराह हि
Indeed, creation is said to occur in the intermediate state.
निर्मातारं चैके पुत्रादयश् च
And some say the creator, as well as sons and others.
मायामात्रं तु कार्त्स्न्येनानभिव्यक्तस्वरूपत्वात्
But it is only an illusion, because its true nature is not fully manifested.
पराभिध्यानात् तु तिरोहितं ततो ह्यस्य बन्धविपर्ययौ
But because of another's will, it is concealed; for from that come its bondage and the opposite.
देहयोगाद्वा सो ऽपि
Or, because of connection with the body, that too.
सूचकश् च हि श्रुतेराचक्षते च तद्विदः
For the indication is indeed from scripture, and those who know declare it.
