TATTVASANGRAHA : CHAPTER 11.
dewilsstands for the Material Cause and the rest; the Vēdaka' of these is one who knows. Such is the sense of the compound. The word daka' is to be grammatically explained either as included under the group of words beginning with yājaka', or as formed with the affix ana in the passire serise-with the refrescive ka added to it. The rest is easily intelligible.-(54)
There is yet another series of arguments set forth by these persons :(A) "That which is the substratum of the variegated and the mobile, and that which is not the substratum of these—which is the thing under dispute. is cognised through a means of cognition other than the five beginning with the second,-just as Colour, etc. are cognised as distinguished from the character of being an entity' and so forth.--the 'Hair of the Tortoise (a non-entity) being the corroborative instance per dissimilarity"
In the argument as thus worded, the term, vichiiroclaya' stands for the category of Quality, in the sense that its 'waya', appearance, is 'vichitra variegated; the term 'prasyand stands for the category of Mobility : the ispada', substratum, of these two is the category of Substance ;-that which is not the substratram of these two (Quality and Mobility) stands for the five categories of Quality, Action, Universal, Particular and inherence : - such a thing is cognised through a Means of Cognition other than the five beginning teith the second-ie. Other than Inference, Analogy, Word, Presumption and Non-apprehension ; i.e. through Sense-perception. The rest is easily intelligible.
(B) The other argument propounded by them is in the following form :-" The Thing under dispute, which is (1) what is embraced by the Particulars of such Universals its 'Being and the like, and also (2) what is not so embraced, his perceptible to some one,-because they exist-like Colour and the rest"-In this statement, the term Being and the like stands for the six non-specific (general) entities,Being,
Evanescent, Material Product', 'Cause', Universal'. Particular '; --the particulars' of these go to specify Substance, Quality and Action ; -hence what is embraced' by these particulars are these three categories of Substance Quality and Action :- what is not so embraced consists of the Universal and the rest. The rest is easily intelligible.-[And the Person who has the perception of all these things is God.]
This series of arguments is set forth in the following Text:
TEXT (55). * THE THING UNDER DISPUTE MUST CLEARLY BE PERCEPTIBLE TO SOME ONE,--BECAUSE OF SUCH REASONS AS being a thing, BEING existent
AND SO TORTE JUST LIKE THE DIVERSITIES OF PLEASURE, PAIN, ETC.-[AND THIS SOME ONE
Is God]."-(55)
