10. The calculation Palya and Sagar is an example of illustrative truth.
Note.--That these ten parts of view have reference only to occassions where language may be ambiguous or capable of abuse or misrepresentation. Naturally the Syadvada philosophy must make a clear statement on such points; for example the word palanga means bed in Hindi, but it means a tiger in Persian; or pain in French, means bread, but in English it means trouble or suffering. If a French man asks an English man to give him "Pain” the pious son of Albion will certainly refuse to grant the request.
आमंतणि आणवणी याचणियापुच्छणी य पण्णवणी । पञ्चक्खाणी संसयवयणी इच्छाणुलोमा य ॥२२५॥
आमन्त्रणी आज्ञापनी याचनी आपृच्छनी च प्रज्ञापनी । प्रत्याख्यानी संशयवचनी इच्छानुलोम्नी च ॥ २२५ ॥ णवमी अणक्खरगदा असञ्चमोसा हवंति भासाओ। सोदाराणं जम्हा वत्तावत्ससंजण या ॥ २२६ ॥ नवमी अनक्षरगता असत्यमृषा भवन्ति भाषाः। श्रोतृणां यस्माद व्यक्ताव्यक्तांशसंज्ञापिकाः॥ २२६॥
225-228. 1. Invocative (Amantrani), 2. Dictatory, (Ajnapani), 3. Requestive, (Yachani), 4. Interrogatory (Aprichchhani), 5. Informatory (Prajnapani), 6. Renunciative (Pratyakhyāni) 7. Doubtful (Samshaya Vachani) and 8. submissive (Ichchhanulomni), and the ninth unlettered (Anaksharagata) are phrases neither-true-nor-false (i. e., neutral); because they are part expressed and part unexpressed to the hearers (in their hearing).
Commentary. The above nine kinds of speech are neither-true-nor-false, nor both mixed, in their significance. They may be illustrated as follows:
1. Come Rama. 2. Do this. 3. Give me this. 4. What is this. 5. This is my master's message. 6. I relinquish this.
