દ્વિતીય मृतत्वेऽसुमतो वपुर्मिततयाऽङ्गे स्यात्प्रवेशः कुतो ?

If Murttata means possession of colour, etc., the statement is viciated by the instance of the mind; so, one ought not to say so. If it means magnitude of some standard, that meaning is surely here desirable, as it is the very nature of every object that is not pervading the universe, to be of some finite magnitude ( 25 )
Notes :-Some persons find it unreasonable to believe that the soul can have the same size as the body. For, they think that thereby the soul shall have to be considered as Murtta and then it will be impossible for such a soul to euter body which is Murtta too, as they believe that a Murtia object cannot enter another Murtta object. Before refuting this belief, the author asks them to stato as to which of the two kinds of Murltato-- 1) the state of possossing colour and (2) the state of having a finite magnitude - arises in the case of the soul, when it is considered as baving the same magnitude as that of its body. It cannot be the former Murtiata, for, it cannot be said that where there is Parimilatva,
