It has been argued under Text 2902, that "In both cases, the Corroborative Cognition is not produced by other moans, hence they do not need corroboration by Cognitions produced by other causes".
The answer to this is as follows
TEXT (3083). Tus COGNITION PRODUCED BY OTHER MEANS IS QUITE CERTAIN ; THAT IS WHY THE CORROBORATION BY COGNITIONS PRODUCED BY

The answer to this is as follows:
TEXT (3084). THUS, IN THE CASE OF THE VALIDITY OF SENSE PERCEPTION, THERE IS THE DEFINITE BASIS IN THE FORM OF CORROBORATION BY OTHER COGNITIONS PRODUCED BY SEVERAL SENSE-ORGANS ; BUT SUCH IS NOT FOUND TO BE THE CASE
WITH THE VEDA, (3084)
COMMENTARY. Such is, etc. etc.'- .0. Corroboration by other Cognitions produced by several Sense-organs.-(3084)

TEXT (3085). THE FIRST COGNITION OF Water THAT APPRARS IS PRODUCED BY THE EYE;
THEN THERE FOLLOWS THE LATER COGNITIONS RELATING TO drinking and bathing. AS DEPENDENT UPON THE GESTATORY ORGAN AND THE BODY (RESPECTIVELY).- (3085)
COMMENTARY. Produced by the eyes'i.e. the visual Cognition of Colour. Later Cognition', i.e. one appearing at a later timo.-(3085)
