Please be on the topic. The anumAna presented by BhAshykAra is simple and
clear. न च घटाभावः सन्पटः अभावात्मकः ; किं तर्हि ? भावरूप एव । एवं घटस्य
प्राक्प्रध्वंसात्यन्ताभावानामपि घटादन्यत्वं स्यात् , घटेन
व्यपदिश्यमानत्वात् , घटस्येतरेतराभाववत् ; तथैव भावात्मकताभावानाम.

I will repeat the question:

1. Is pot-abhAva bhAvarUpa?

2. Is pot-abhAva made of three guNAs namely sattva, rajas and tamas?

Just simple, plain, clear questions.

Regards.
Sudhanshu Shekhar.
