________________ 154 inexpressible nature as 65 democratio ". The sixth Bhanga puts forward the two propositions- 1. The Indian State is not bellicose by nature in some respects and 2. It is democratic in nature in some respects. The two propositions when compounded reveal a new character of the Union which may be called 'large-hearted sympathy- a character which could not be traced either in the second or in the fourth Bhanga or in the two Bhangas, simply placed side by side. It needs scarcely any reminding that the illustrations given above show only how for the purposes of establishing the conclusions therein, the methodology of the Syad-vāda has been applied. Accordingly, those conclusions need not be accepted as absolutely true,- far less, as conclusion arrived at by a faultless application of Syad-vada. The examples show only the formal aspect of the manner of the application of the doctrine and do not guarantee the material correctness of the application.
