CHAPTER X 439
समाधिः सुकरं कार्यं कारणान्तरयोगतः ॥
साधनान्तरोपकृतेन कर्त्रा यत् अक्लेशेन कार्यमारब्धं
समाधीयते स समाधिर्नाम । उदाहरणम्--
मानमस्या निराकर्तुं पादयोर्मे पतिष्यतः ।
उपकाराय दिष्टचेदमुदीर्णं घनगर्जितम् ॥५३४॥
Though it does imply an inconsistency (which is a form
of Contradiction), yet the figure is not the same as 'Con-
tradiction), as in this the 'inconsistency' appears only in the
form of two things appearing in two distinct substrata ;
while in 'Contradiction', the inconsistency really lies
in two things subsisting in the same substratum ; though
this fact has not been stated (in the definition of 'Contradic-
tion' given before), —that it is so is clear from the fact
that what is of wider application (in the present case,
'contradiction') is made applicable to only those cases
that do not come under what is of narrower application
('Disconnection', in the present case.)
[Hence it is that when 'disconnection' is found to be applicable
to cases where the two things are represented as subsisting in different
substrata, it is only right that the scope of 'contradiction' should
be restricted to cases where they are described as subsisting in the
same substratum.]
And it is under this understanding that examples
have been cited above (of the figure of 'Contradiction.')

XLV.—Samādhi—Convenience.
When, through the help of other causes, the fulfilment of an
effect is described as becoming easier,—it is Convenience.
When a certain work, commenced by an agent
(with one set of accessories), becomes accomplished
without much trouble, with the help of other
accessories,—it is the figure named 'Convenience'.
