________________ ( 50 ) theory remains unproved If you consider Brahma to be the material cause of the universe, it means that everything is Brahina which involves the fallacy already alluded to above. If you consider Mâyâ to be sentient, the same fallacy applies to it as well. If you consider Mâyâ to be inseparate from God, ther it is sufficent to speak only of Brahma and not of another superfluous entity. 33.-Q. I consider Mây â to be indescribable. A.-The argument about the indescribability of existence has already been repudiated. The prefix Nis in the term "Anirvachniya" (indescribable) means negation and the remaining portion of it according to the Kalapik Vyâkarana (Grammar) means either existence or non-existence. If you deny existence, non-existence is proved and if you deny non-existence, existence is proved. There is nothing else than existence and non-existence. The term "Anirvachniya" or "Indescribable" seems to have been invented only as a trade
