Since every is fixed, has poles only among the first points, with order at most one: a biholomorphic change of coordinate preserves pole order. Thus also has at most poles, counted with multiplicity. At every with , both terms are finite and equal, so .
If were not zero, its principal divisor would have degree zero. It would therefore have at most zeros counted with multiplicity. But it has at least distinct zeros. When this number exceeds , a contradiction. Consequently
