Note 202 — Chapter X · THE VAIŚESHIKA OR AULÚKYA DARŚANA.[154]
Edward B. (Edward Byles) Cowell translation
"Relative non-existence" (saṃsargábháva) is the negation of a relation; thus "the jar is not in the house" is "absolute non-existence," "it was not in the house" is "antecedent," and "it will not be in the house" is "emergent," non-existence.
