As the sapphire immersed in milk imparts its blue lustre to the whole of milk, in the same way, empirically, sense-independent knowledge - atindriya jnana - inheres in the objects-ofknowledge (jneya).
Explanatory Note: The sapphire immersed in the milk, due to its special characteristic, imparts its blue lustre to the whole of milk, similarly, omniscience (kevalajñāna) - the sense-independent, infinite knowledge – due to its special potency, inheres in the objects-of-knowledge (jñeya). From the transcendental-point-ofview (niscayanaya), knowledge inheres only in the soul, but empirically, it inheres in the objects-of-knowledge (jñeya). The mirror, due to its particular characteristic, reflects the objects; empirically, the objects have the power of relection. Similarly, the sense-independent, infinite knowledge has the power to know all objects-of-knowledge (jñeya); empirically, knowledge inheres in all objects-of-knowledge (ineya).
जदि ते ण संति अट्ठा णाणे णाणं ण होदि सव्वगयं । सव्वगयं वा णाणं कह ण णाणट्ठिया अट्ठा 1-31॥
यदि ते न सन्त्यर्था ज्ञाने ज्ञानं न भवति सर्वगतम् । सर्वगतं वा ज्ञानं कथं न ज्ञानस्थिता अर्थाः ॥1-31॥
