Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
There is no vipaka without potency, no potency without taste and no taste without substance; substance is the most important, because taste, potency and vipaka depend on it, and the eight qualities called potency rest in substance, not in the tastes.
Detailed answer
The wise are said to accept the combined action of all four: a substance acts on a dosha by itself, through its potency, or through its taste and vipaka, and substance and taste arise in mutual dependence, like body and embodied soul. The text uses these quotations to say that Sushruta too relies on syadvada.
