## Fifteenth Indriya Pada: Second Uddeshaka [181]
The relationship between the sense organs and their objects is not the same for all. The eye and mind are both incapable of grasping their objects, therefore they do not have a relationship with their objects. This is why there are four types of Vyanjanavagraha and six types of Arthavagraha. Why is there an inversion in Vyanjanavagraha and Arthavagraha? Vyanjanavagraha arises first, and Arthavagraha arises later. In this situation, why is the statement of Arthavagraha, which occurs later, made first? The solution is that Arthavagraha is relatively clear in nature, and because it is clear in nature, everyone can understand it. For this reason, the statement of Arthavagraha is made first. In addition, Arthavagraha occurs through all the senses and the mind, and for this reason, it is also mentioned first. Vyanjanavagraha is not like that. It does not occur through the eye and mind, and because it is extremely unclear in nature, it does not come to the perception of everyone. Therefore, its statement is made later.
