sUthram 51

அது தே4ஹபே4தத்தாலே என்னில்.

adhu dhEha bhEdhaththAlE ennil.

Meaning

If it is said that this (difference in pleasure and pain) is due to the difference in bodies.

Explanation

The opponent’s objection

After establishing that the simultaneous experience of pleasure and pain proves the plurality of souls, piLLai lOkAchArya now presents the opponent’s reply.

The opponent argues:

“That (difference in pleasure and pain) is caused merely by the difference in bodies (dhEha bhEdha), and not by any difference among souls.”

This objection is only introduced here (anuvadhikkiRAr) and will be answered in the following sUthram.
