Sutra, 22. As for instance : Thing-hood is the only Reality because the Things which are Modes and as such, different from it, are not (literally, are not perceived).
Commentary. Here the Fallacy consists in the fact that whereas the classidea Thing-hood is declared to be the Reality, the things themselves, -Space, Matter, Soul etc. are denied Reality.
The error in all forms of the fallacious Samgraha is that Their matter is opposed to the Pramanas i. e., facts of Perception etc,
Sutra, 23. The Practical (Vyavahara) signifies the tendency to differentiate (i. e., divide) methodically the ideas, determined through the Generic.
Commentary. The object of the Samgraha is Being etc. The Vyavahara Naya goes on dividing the subject-matter of the Samgraha.
Sutra. 24. For instance : Whatever is Being is either a Substance or a Mode.
Commentary. In the above example, an attempt is made to divide the idea of Being which, as we have seen, is the object of the ParaSamgraha. Instances may also be given of the division of ideas which are the subject-matter of the Apara-Samgraha. Thus, whatever is a Substance may be one of the six, viz., Soul etc.; whatever is a Mode is either of the two viz., Evolving or Coexistent; in the same way,-Every Soul is either Emancipated or Worldly : Whatever is Evolving consists either in Activity or in Passivity-and so on.
Sutra, 25. The Fallacy" of the Vyavahara consists in dividing the class ideas into imaginary Substances and Modes.
Commentary. This is illustrated below.
Sutra, 26. For instance : The Charvaka philosophy. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
