INTRODUCTION
red colour colours cloth, etc., so Rajas colours citta, because of its property of activity. Even so, the whiteness of water indicates Sattva, because white water has the property of purifying things. Sattva also purifies the mind with knowledge. The dark colour of anna=Earth is an indication of Tamas. The dark colour covers everything. Even so, the insentient Tamas covers the knowledge born of Sattva. [See, Bāla, p. 3. What has been propounded by Sūryanārāyaṇa Sistri in contradiction of this will be found in the Introduc. tion, S. N. S. ]. This very thing is propounded in the mantra “SETİ TEATRUTH (S'v. Up. IV 5; Mahā. nārāyana Up., p. 141, Išādı ). The trivrtkarana (trebling ) S'ruti found in the (Ch. Up. VI. 4 and 5 ) also corroborates this opinion.

(III, 1) (1. P. I, 259, 1 n!.
It is a well-known fact that Svetās'vatara is essentially a Sānikhya Upanışad. It abounds in the Sārikhya cate. gories. For instance in this alone, the words Sānkhya and Kapila have been used for the first time. "AFFITTOI Fisela
