Trans.--10. The soul which is gupin, is self-evident owing to its gunas being so (self evident), as is the case with a pitcher. For, on realizing the gunas only, the gunin e. g., the pitclier, too, is realized. (1558)

D.C.-The gunin, viz., the soul is certainly pratyaksa, because its guņas such as smrti (remenıbrance), jijñāsā (desire for knowledge ), cikirsa (desire for action), jigamisa (desire for movements ), and doubt, etc., which are different kinds of knowledge are self evident, as they are experienced by onesell. One whose guņas are pratyakşa, is noticed to be pratyakşa; for instance, a pitcher.
The guņas of the soul are pratyakşa. Therefore, the soul is pratyakşa. Just as, since rūpa ( colour ) etc, the gunas of a pitcher, are pratyaksa, the pitoher, too, is pratyaksa.
Such is the case with the soul, as its gupas, viz. vijnana, (knowledge Jetc., are pratyakşa.
