" THE REVEALED WORD."

which is thus done through the denial of other exclusions of unlike things. Consequently there being no such object which could form the subject of the argument, to whom could the Reason,-in the form because it is not apprehended by any cognition other than that of Ga'-belong? To nothing at all.--(2480-2481)
As regards the Corroborative Instance cited by the Mimämsaka, in Text 2143, like the Universal Ga postulated by the other party', -that also is one of which the very basic object is not admissible. This is what is shown in the following:
TEXT (2482). EVERY RIGHT INFERENCE REQUIRES SUCH CORROBORATIVE INSTANCE, ETC. AS ARE ADMITTED BY BOTH PARTIES. IN THE CASE OF THE INFERENCE IN QUESTION HOWEVER, THE OBJECTIVE BASIS (OF THE REASON) IS NOT SO ADMITTED.
-(2482)
COMMENTARY.
Instance, etc.'-The 'etc.' is meant to include the Reason (Probans) and other factors.—(2482)
Further, even when the first party does not state it in so many words, that is regarded as to be proved which he has in mind ; and as a matter of fact, it is not merely the Universal 'Ga' which you have in your mind as to be proved; what you really desire is to prove, through this Universal, the one-ness of the letter "Ga'; and it has been already shown before that such a Proposition as the latter is annulled by Perception and other Means of Cognition.
This is what is shown in the following:
TEXT (2483).
ALL THIS ATTEMPT OF YOURS IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVING THE ONENESS OF THE LETTER 'Ga'; AND THIS IS CLEARLY AND UNDENIABLY ANNULLED BY PERCEPTION, AS ALREADY EXPLAINED
TO YOU.-(2483)
COMMENTARY. *This attempt'-at denying the substratum of the Universal 'Ga'.
Annulled by Perception --The particle cha' includes 'annulment by Inference' also.
Explained '-under the Text 2462 et seq.-(2483)
