WHEN THE RELATION OF THE NAME HAS BEEN COGNISED IN CONNECTION WITH ONE THING, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RECOGNISE IT IN CONNECTION WITH ANOTHER THING; AS IT WOULD
LEAD TO INCONGRUITIES.-(1570)
COMMENTARY.
Na' has to be construed with Yujyatë'.
When the relation of the name has been cognised in regard to one thing, it cannot be right to cognise the same name as applied to another thing; for, if it did, then there would be incongruities.-(1570)
