Original

यदि तु व्योमकालाद्याः सन्तः स्युस्ते तथासति ।
नातिक्रामन्ति तेऽप्येनं क्षणभङ्गं कृता इव ॥ ३९१ ॥

yadi tu vyomakālādyāḥ santaḥ syuste tathāsati |

This indicates ‘being’, ‘existence’, as the Reason (for regarding things as momentary).—(391)

This Reason is stated more explicitly:—[see verses 392-394 next]
