Trans.-17-18 Moreover, that you believe that since the lingin ( viz., the soul ) has not been realized formerly (up till now) along with the lingas, as is the case with the hare and the horn, so it (the soul) cannot be inferred by means of a linga, is untenable; for, agrahat, that is not formerly seen along with (his) lingas, is inferred in a body,, on perceiving his linga or lingas. (1565-1566).
टीका - यच्च " न य जीवलिंगसंबंधदरिसणमभृ" इत्यादि पूर्वोक्तपूर्वपक्षानुसारेण मन्यसे त्वम् । किम् ? इत्याह- ततो न लिङ्गतः - लिङ्गादनु- • मेयोsat जीवः । यतः किम् ? इत्याह-यतो न खलु लिङ्गैः कैश्चिदपि समं लिङ्गी - जीवः क्वापि केनापि पुरा - पूर्व गृहीतः । किंवदित्याह - शृङ्गमिव शशकेन समम् । ततो लिङ्ग - लिङ्गिनोः पूर्वं सम्बन्धाग्रहणाद् न लिङ्गाजीवोऽनुमीयते । इति यद् मन्यसे त्वं तत्र प्रतिविधीयते - सोऽनेकान्तः, यस्मालिङ्गैः सममदृष्टपूर्वोऽपि ग्रहः - देवयोनिविशेषः शरीरे हसन-गान - रोदन-कर-चरण-भ्रूविक्षेपादिविकृतग्रहलिङ्गदर्शनादनुमीयत इति बालानामपि प्रतीतमेवेति ।। १७-१८ ( १५६५ - १५६६ )||
D. C.-Just as none has ever seen a horn on the head of a hare, so none has ever seen the lingin, viz., the soul as associated with one or more of its lingas. Such being the case, one cannot infer the existence of the soul. This belief of yours is not right. For, though a graha is not previously seen along with his lingas, even children are convinced about his existence in a body, when they see that body associated with perverse acts such as, laughing, singing, weeping, movements of hands, feet and eye-brows, etc., — the acts which are the lingas of the graha.
