Abhinnābhidhāna. Thus the Mimamsaka view succeeds in establishing the existence of Jāti in Dravya (a) where the Sañjñā is considered as a Sabda and also (b) where it is. regarded as an object or Artha. However, this conclusion is. true if the same name, say Dittha, is given to one thing only. Because, if Dittha is applied to two different things like a bull and a horse, then there is no Sāmanya ditthatva or a common generic connection. The Sampradāyaprakāśini Țikā of the Kavyaprakasa draws our attention to the words 'Pratiksanaí (or Pratikalam as here) bhidyamānesu' which smack of the Buddhist view of Kșanikavāda, i.e., things are Ksanika. We may note here that Mammata has answered 24 the Jātivādins. by saying that there is only one Guņa, one Kriya and one Sañjñā. The one śuklaguņa resides in different things and as such appears as though diverse; so with Kriya and Sanjñā. Hemachandra's brief Exposition of the other two Views on Sanketa

The quotation under Tadvān refers to the view of the older Naiyāyikas who hold that a word has Sanketa only for Jātivisistavyakti (Tadvān = Jatiman). The Pradipa commentary on the Kāvyaprakāśa explains. that, in the opinion of the Naiyāyikas, it is not possible to denote only an individual nor the class alone; for, in the first case, there is the fault of endlessness as well as the fault of violation of the rule; while in the second case, there will be the fault of excluding the individual. Hence the Sanketa is. placed on the individual characterized by the class. As interpreteď by Hemachandra, this view of the logicians implies that the Sanketa placed on Jāti is futile since Jāti as a whole cannot perform any function. In support of this interpretation, Hemachandra quotes a passage to the effect that "since the generality or class cannot perform the function of burning or cooking, it is always an individual that can perform a useful
