Vaisesika Sūtra 8.1.08

गुणकर्मसु गुणकर्माऽभावाद् गुणकर्मापक्षं न विद्यते ॥८॥

guṇakarmasu guṇakarmābhāvād guṇakarmāpakṣaṃ na vidyate ॥8॥

[गुणकर्मसु (guṇakarmasu) - in qualities and actions; गुणकर्म (guṇakarma) - quality and action; अभावात् (abhāvāt) - from absence; गुणकर्मापक्षं (guṇakarmāpakṣam) - the side (view) of quality and action; न (na) - not; विद्यते (vidyate) - exists;]

Because qualities and actions are absent in qualities and actions, the standpoint of qualities and actions does not exist.
