TATTVASANGRAHA : CHAPTER XXIV.
Because it is not popular --People's agreement constitutes its popularity.
Aloof from the Veda-Shalya and others who keep away from the Vedn; because they are excluded from its study, ote.
Who have their purpose centred therein -ie. whose purpose-ends of life, in the shape of sacrifice, etc.—is centred-expounded-in the Veda.
Hostile to Brahman'-.e. Hostile to the Veda. Or 'Brahman may be taken as standing for the knowledge derived from the Veda. (2111-2116)
"Or, it may be that the Inference is not annulled by Verbal Cognition ; even so, the Proposition of the Buddhist is defective; because it is annulled by Perception and other Means of Cognition ".
This is the idea expounded in the following:
TEXT (2117).
" THEN AGAIN, THE eternality AND all-permisiveness OF THE WORD, IS ESTABLISHED BY AUDITORY RECOGNITIONWO, THEN, COULD
EVER CONCEIVE OF THE CONTRARY?"
COMMENTARY.
This shows annulment by Perception.
For instance, at all times, the Word is recognised by Perception as the same'; hence the eternality of the Word is proved by this Recognition which is called 'Perception '.-And being recognised as the same', in all places, Word is proved to be all-pervasive also.- Under the circumstances, who could conceive of the contrary of the said eternality and all-pervasiveness ?
-No one. The contrary' of eternality and all-pervasiveness would be noneternality and non-pervasiveness (respectively).—(2117)
The position is summed up in the following:
TEXT (2118).
« FROM ALL THIS IT FOLLOWS THAT THE FACT OF ITS REMAINING THE SAME AT ALL TIMES AND AT ALL PLACES IS PROVED BY PERCEP
TIONAL RECOGNITION ; AND THIS ANNULS IT."-(2118)
COMMENTARY.
* At all times', i.e. in the past, present and future. It'—the contrary' (spoken of in the preceding text).(2118)
