TATTVASANGRAHA: CHAPTER XXIV.
characters to subsist in the same thing; or else it would cease to be one thing.-(2781)
The following text points out the all-embracing character of the said Reason (Premins) -
TEXTS (2782-2783).
WHEN LETTERS ARE EXPRESSIVE, WITH DISTINCT MEANINGS, AND APPEAB IN A PARTICULAR ORDER OY SEQUENCE, --THEY COME TO BE KNOWN AS WORD ', 'SENTENCE' AND SUCH GROUPS ; IT IS THESE THAT HAVE BEEN SO SPOKEN OF AS ' AGGREGATES'.--AND IT HAS BEEN SHOWN THAT ALL THIS—EXPRESSIVENESS, DISTINCT MEANINGS AND ORDER OF SEQUENCE—IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THE CASE OF WORDS NOT EMANATING FROM PERSONALITIES. HENCE THE INVARIABLE CONCOMITANCE (PREMISS, PUT FORWARD BY THE BUDDHIST) REMAINS UNSHAKEN.
(2782-2783)
COMMENTARY.
* So spoken of, i.e. as 'aggregates'.
If Letters do not emanate from Personalities, then all this--expressive. ness and the rest-is impossible ; this has been proved by tis already. And thus our Invariable Concomitance (i.e. the Premiss) becomes fully established. -(2782-2783)
Says the Opponent :-"The Reason (Premiss) that we have put forward (under 2342), because it is preceded by Vedia study also comprehends all things; as the Author of the Veda has never been found ".
The answer to this is as follows:
TEXT (2784). THERE IS NO SUCH CERTAINTY OF INVARIABLE CONCOMITANCE IN REGARD TO THE CHARACTER OF BEING SPOKEN OF AS Vedic study': HENCE SICH A REASON IS OPEN TO THE CHARGE OF ITS NEGATIVE
CONCOMITANCE BEING DOUBTFUL.-(2784)
COMMENTARY
Such certainty-as there is regarding the character of being an aggregate'; because in the case of being an aggregate', its negative concomitance with the contrary of the Probandum is not in doubt as it is in the case of the other party's reason--( being spoken of as Vedic study').-(2784)
