6. atha pṛthvī ādayaḥ anye vā kecit atra upakurvate
| sahakārikāraṇatvam tat pūrvam ca atra dūṣaṇam ||

6. Now, if other elements like earth (pṛthvī), or indeed some others, do provide assistance here, then accepting the state of being an auxiliary cause (sahakārikāraṇa) and its preceding existence (tatpūrvam) in this context constitutes a fallacy.
